The Bulgarian torpedo boat Drazki is a preserved naval vessel on display in Varna, Bulgaria. The ship is maintained as a museum exhibit and forms part of the city’s naval heritage displays.

Onsite the boat is presented as a historic small warship typical of early 20th-century coastal navies; it is displayed afloat at the museum berth with interpretive signage for visitors. Public access is generally from the naval museum complex rather than open-ship tours at all times.

The vessel served in the Bulgarian Navy before preservation and was later retired and turned into a museum exhibit. It has been kept as a representative example of early torpedo-boat design.

The ship is located on Varna’s Black Sea waterfront in Varna Province, adjacent to other naval museum exhibits and maritime displays in the city.

• Location: Moored as a museum ship at Varna’s naval museum complex on the Black Sea coast, visible from the city’s waterfront.

Drazki is located in the Sea Garden (Morska gradina) of Varna, a short walk from Varna’s city center and the port. From Varna Railway Station it’s about a 15-20 minute walk; local buses and taxis serve the promenade. The Naval Museum (Regional Historical Museum Varna) nearby provides contextual exhibits.

• The Drazki is displayed on Varna's Sea Garden promenade near the Naval Museum - combine the visit with the Naval Museum for full context.
• Look for the brass plate on deck recounting the 1912 action; guides in the museum can explain the torpedo boat's 1918 role in rescuing the torpedo boat Detachment.
• Photograph the ship from the pier at golden hour; the light brings out the zinc-white hull and weathered wooden deck.
