Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on two of the naval mines in the collection of the Romanian National Naval Museum, namely the maritime „Vickers” and the river „Rudmann” mine. There are some details on the acquisition proces that the Romanian Navy went through by sending a commission to investigate the „Rudmann” mine in Czechoslovakia. The „Vickers” mine was offered by the „Vickers-Armstrong” company, which had a stake in the „Reșița” plant in Romania, facilitating the process. Both mines were used with success in World War Two.
