Maine Maritime Museum celebrates Maine’s maritime heritage and culture in order to educate the community and a worldwide audience about the important role of Maine in regional and global maritime activities. The Museum accomplishes its stewardship through: discriminate collection, preservation and dissemination of historic materials and information, engaging educational programs, relevant and compelling exhibitions, and a unique historic shipyard, all connecting the past to contemporary and future issues. The museum’s campus consists of a 30,000 square foot permanent exhibit hall, and boasts numerous permanent and temporary exhibits. Additionally, the Maine Maritime Museum conducts public outreach with its youth wooden boatbuilding program, Discovery Boatbuilding, and it’s iconic “Lobstermobile”.
