Thank You!
Because of our Members, we are able to provide meaningful experiences at The Mariners’ for our community. Whether a student is planting the eelgrass they grew in Mariners’ Lake during an environmental education program or a navy diver comes to see Monitor’s turret for the first time in 20 years, people from all generations and walks of life connect with one another and the world’s waters here. Together, we continue striving to fulfill our mission for our local, national, and global communities.

A Greater Purpose
Your membership not only offers wonderful benefits, but it also helps to foster a strong and vibrant community. Our original 1930 charter states that we exist to “promote the public welfare,” which caused us to shift our mindset in 2016 and operate not as an attraction, but as a community resource. Using servant leadership as a guide, The Mariners’ is committed to promoting engagement to our Museum and Living Collections through access and value, which is all possible because of your support.

Mariners’ Museum Membership FAQs
Here at The Mariners’ Museum and Park, conservation is the foundation of all we do. The stewardship of our Museum and Living Collections ensures their survival for generations to come, allowing them to ultimately provide value to our local, national, and global community. Your membership places you in our Community of Champions because you are ambassadors of our mission in the community:
The Mariners’ connects people to the world’s waters, because through the waters — through our shared maritime heritage — we are connected to one another.
Stewardship of the Collection helps to connect us through the world’s waters so that everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, or socioeconomic status… can be a Mariner!
