Maine Maritime Museum (Visit this link)
Founded in 1962, Maine Maritime Museum collects, preserves and interprets
materials relating to the maritime history of Maine.
Maine's maritime history is told here daily through gallery exhibits, an
historic shipyard, educational programs and narrated boat cruises to points of
historic significance and natural beauty.
Located on the banks of the Kennebec River and just south of Bath Iron Works,
home of “The World’s Greatest Shipbuilders”, the Museum welcomes over 65,000
visitors annually.
In addition to many scheduled programs including school activities, lectures,
boat cruises and more, the Museum offers visitors first-hand looks at thousands
of historic maritime artifacts, many of them unique to our collections. Visitors
of all ages and interests will enjoy our wide variety of exhibits.
But we're so much more than a beautiful museum. Step outside onto the banks of
the Kennebec River. Stroll around historic Percy & Small Shipyard - a site where
many large wooden sailing schooners were built, including the largest wooden
vessel in the world, the six-masted schooner, Wyoming.
And when it's time to take a break, relax with a snack or your favorite beverage
in Long Reach Hall. Located within the Maritime History Building, the wooden
post-and-beam construction evokes Maine's shipbuilding past, and views of the
Kennebec River will truly enhance your visit.
