Visiting the Museum

The Museum employs imaginative exhibitions and displays to illustrate what the American merchant marine is and who its leaders are.

The American Merchant Marine Museum preserves displays and interprets historic artifacts and artwork related to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine, and the profession of seafaring. The Museum will educate and instill in midshipmen and the public an appreciation for the significant contributions made by the maritime services to the nation’s heritage, and in particular by USMMA graduates and personnel in peace and war.
