Although I have visited many maritime and naval museums as well as museum ships in the Scandinavian countries, Europe, USA and Australia, I cannot say that I have first hand knowledge of more than a small percentage of the museums and ships of this list. The rest of the information have been collected from various sources of which you will find some listed below.

Guide to Naval & Maritime Museums in the UK, a series of flat text files maintained by Dr Martin H Evans and Dr Janet West.
List of Naval and Maritime Museums, a flat text file compiled by Joseph Poutre.
