Important Notice:
Delayed Response Time Due to Freezer Installation
Due to the construction and installation of a freezer to better house our Collection, please expect delays in our response time. We anticipate a completion date of June 3, 2025. Thank you for your patience as we work to preserve our materials for future generations. This delay applies to requests for: research materials, imaging licensing, object retrieval, digitization, Chris Craft materials, and behind-the-scenes tours.
The Mariners’ Museum and Park maintains a vast collection of objects, books, and archival materials that we display and use in our programs. Additionally, we support a wide range of research requests from people in our local, national, and global communities. Our Collection is unique in that we have both local and international significance and scope, making it one of the largest maritime history collections in North America.
The Mariners’ team assists diverse audiences, including
- publishers, editors, and authors;
- boat builders and modelmakers;
- professional and amateur researchers;
- genealogists and family historians;
- staff from other museums;
…and anyone with a maritime connection.
