Exhibited in the outside courtyard of the museum are fèri (anchors), hoists, winches (verricello), engines and brìcole (Bricola is the wooden piling used to mark the course of a Venetian canals and rivers). Just a short walk from here, near Catajo Castle, is another point of interest connected to the Museum: the boat basin. This outstanding work of hydraulic was inaugurated in 1923 and recently restored connects the Battaglia Canal, i.e. the Paduan and Euganean territory, with the Vigenzone-Rialto, that lead to the sea, the with a difference in level of up to 7.4 meters.

On the bank near the basin are the burchio “Luisa”, a peata and the tow-boats “Pavia” and “Sparviero”. The basin is completed by a cavana (wooden shelter for small boats) under which the recently restored caorlina “Giorgia” is moored.
