Maine Maritime Museum, Bath — The Maritime History Building houses the Exhibit Galleries and Research Library, as well as our riverfront meeting and dining facility, Long Reach Hall.
The exhibit "A Maritime History of Maine" illustrates six timeless themes of coastal Maine - living on land & sea, fishing, local trade, world trade, wooden shipbuilding, and recreation on Maine waters. Here you can practice sailors' knots on a knot-rail, and heave away at the capstan to hoist a heavy load. Galleries filled with changing exhibits explore many aspects of the history and human experience of maritime Maine.
Most visitors spend an hour or more exploring these remarkable windows on our maritime history. And reliving history can make you hungry, so bring a picnic and plan some time to relax on the sundeck of Long Reach Hall to enhance your experience!

| The historic Percy & Small Shipyard is where some of the world's largest wooden sailing vessels were built, including the six-masted schooner Wyoming, launched in 1909. This unique space offers waterfront views and is the perfect location for lobster bakes and receptions.
Between 1897 and 1920, Sam Percy & Frank Small constructed 41 four-, five- and six-masted schooners on this site, now part of the Museum. Today, in five of the original shipyard buildings, the process of building a wooden schooner is faithfully reconstructed - from lofting the lines through milling timbers, building the vessel, and launching day.
The Percy & Small Shipyard provides an active interpretation of our maritime heritage by bringing visitors close to the tools, the people, and the environment of wooden shipbuilding. We offer guided tours of the Shipyard from April through October, and self-guided tours are available all year 'round. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. |
