HMS Justice is a historic ship moored in Ushuaia's port, originally used as a prison hulk to hold convicts. Now a floating museum, it offers visitors a glimpse into the harsh conditions of 19th-century penal transportation and maritime life. The vessel's decks and holds have been preserved, with exhibits featuring artifacts, photographs, and stories of the prisoners and crew. It's a unique attraction that combines naval history with the darker aspects of Argentina's past.
