Visitors can explore three authentic cabins and pilot houses from ships, a two-story steam engine, and numerous 50-scale models, all accompanied by engaging interactive exhibits. Ships of 1,000 feet length can be seen passing just 200 feet away from the museum. It remains open every day during the shipping season. Admission is always complimentary.
