The Maine Maritime Museum is located in Bath, ME.

Experience Maine’s rich seafaring history on the banks of the Kennebec River at Maine Maritime Museum. From watercraft and lobstering, to shipbuilding and sea trade, you’ll hear stories about dangerous voyages to distant lands, see how a shipbuilder’s family lived in the 1890s, smell the sawdust from historic ship timbers, and discover the wonders and mysteries of Maine’s maritime culture.

The maritime industries in Maine were a catalyst for the growth of American prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries. Maine Maritime Museum, one of the leading museums in New England, preserves the maritime history of Maine connecting that history to the rest of the world. The historic collections of the Museum are vast and housed at the site of the U.S.'s only existing historic shipyard where commercial wooden sailing vessels were built.
