You may have answered your own question. It was stated above that different phone numbers and URLS were provided, yet one website is broken. Providing a link to a broken website is certainly reason to get a Not Applied.

 

Btw wikipedia (a guide only, not an authoritative tome) suggests there aren't two places but one was created out of the other in 2010?

@Pea No, website broken means only the link to the Maritime Archaeology Museum section. I will speak to them and update the details.

Re: Google Maps does not allow to add existing museum

Hi @AnuradhaP,

 

Because the names of the museum are really similar and people had previously named the Maritime Museum as Maritime Archaeology Museum before, our system wasn't allowing you to add to avoid duplicates and/or spam.

 

As you clarified the difference, I create a new POI for the museum so everyone can contribute now - https://goo.gl/IhviQI

That explains a lot!

 

When I open the Maritime Museum, Maps is asking if it's Name should be Maritime Archaeology Museum.

 

@AnuradhaP lots of photo and review clean  up needed ahead.  Thank you very much for reporting and making Maps better for everyone.

@YK1001 Yes, It will get more reviews and photos in few days. I informed the authorities of museum to add photos.

@AnuradhaP, for clean up, I mean for the photos and reviews  of Maritime Archaeology Museum that already attached to the Maritime Museum.

 

Which they became not relevant to the place, like this https://goo.gl/maps/BbxEV7aWbvq .
