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!

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.”

To support environmental sustainability, The Mariners’ now provides digital Membership cards to our supporters. A digital card will be sent to you via email upon joining or renewal and can be accessed from the Member Portal anytime, which can be saved to your phone or printed. Your digital card lists your name and the names of any additional members associated with your Membership account. You are welcome to share or print a copy of your Membership card with any additional members on your card.

The Mariners’ Museum is excited to introduce its new Member portal, where you can easily renew your membership, access benefits, register for events, and download your digital membership card.

If you are a Member, an account has already been created for you. If this is your first time accessing the portal, please select “Reset Password” and use the email address associated with the primary Member on your account to set your password.
