The Drazki is a torpedo boat built in France in the 1900s and served in the Bulgarian Navy until the 1950s. It gained fame in 1912 when it launched a torpedo attack against the Ottoman cruiser Hamidiye during the First Balkan War. Today, the ship is moored at the Port of Varna as a floating museum. Visitors can board the vessel and explore its deck, engine room, and crew quarters, which retain original equipment and displays detailing its wartime exploits. The museum offers a glimpse into early naval technology and Bulgaria's maritime history.
