About the Mariners’ Museum and Park:

The Mariners’ Museum was founded in 1930 with the goals of collecting, preserving, and sharing the world’s maritime heritage with the community. Since then, the institution has grown to become the steward of a world-class collection of over 32,000 objects, including three dimensional objects, paintings, and art on paper. The museum is also home to the largest maritime library in the Western Hemisphere, housing over 110,000 books and 1 million pieces of archival material. Along with its own vast collection, the museum is the repository of nearly 210-tons of artifacts recovered from the wreck site of the American Civil War ironclad USS Monitor. The Mariner’s Museum is situated on a 550 acre park whose trail and lake serve as a beloved community resource.
