Description

The Independence Seaport Museum (formerly the Philadelphia Maritime Museum) is a museum dedicated to the maritime history of the Philadelphia region and other major urban ports along the Delaware River.

Exhibits

There are many maritime artifacts, ship models, and full-sized boats in the permanent and interactive exhibitions. The exhibits focus on the Port of Philadelphia, trade, immigration, shipbuilding, and deep sea submersibles.[8] There are two historic ships displayed near the museum. They are the Spanish–American War-era cruiser USS Olympia, one of the United States' first steel warships, and the World War II submarine USS Becuna.

Boat Shop

The Independence Seaport Museum's boat shop, Workshop on the Water, is dedicated to the skills and traditions of wooden boat building and sailing in the Delaware Valley and the New Jersey shore. The workload includes new builds and restorations of historically significant wooden boats. Past projects include catboats, sandbaggers, sneakboxes, whitehalls, marsh cats, and Beetle whaleboats. The shop's current project is a full-scale replication of a 1700s coastal schooner in a colonial-era shipyard.
