Come to our grand opening
and Family Fun weekend
June 19, 2010

Winter is almost a memory and the Maritime Museum will open May 30, 2010--stay tuned

Good News however...
The Coastal Children's Museum
                                  is open year around!
                     

In spite of a rainy summer 2009,  we had a very successful and exciting first season.  Now we are hunkered down 'til Spring breaks and preparing for great events to come.
...
In 2009 our Flagship "Rekord" had been doing harbor
tours and we hope for more this season.  They are free! Join us and see Rockland Harbor, its seals, porpoises, birds and lighthouses.  Sharpies "Lobstah" Shack will be dishing out
the finest, fullest, flamboyant lobster rolls imaginable.  Bring your appetite and try 'em.
 

We are puttering away this winter building new displays preparing for a grand and exciting opening for 2010, our second season.
 

Be sure to stay tuned for museum presentations of our educational
lecture series coming up in 2010.
Here are some of the many changes we accomplished over the last year.....

The conference room has been enlarged to include a large library and serving kitchen. We can accommodate over a hundred people for lectures and musical performances. The rooms have many displays of the old ship building and fishing industry and beautiful and intricate models of the great sailing vessels.

You have to see it to believe it.

 The Sail, Power & Steam Museum hosted

It was unveiled recognizing the enormous contribution
made by the Snow family and their descendants to the
shipbuilding industry and the history of Maine. Over 60
Museum members, Snow family descendents, volunteers and invitees
 all attended.
