About this video: The National Maritime Museum collection allows visitors to trace the origins of British sea power, its accomplishments in the age of empire, and its consequences in the world today. Britain's National Maritime Museum is filled with reminders of naval conflicts, from the American Revolutionary War, to the Second World War. But one war would outlast them all. It began centuries ago and, remarkably, it's still going on today -- it's the war on piracy. In the past few years, Somali pirates have hijacked hundreds of ships - from sailboats and fishing trawlers to one thousand foot long supertankers.
