New Exhibits and Exciting Events Await Museum Visitors

The museum's Main Street Gallery welcomes visitors with a new exhibit of historic photographs from Atlantic Fisherman, a monthly publication informed commercial fishermen about new designs, gear and catches and provided historical articles and profiles of prominent fishing captains.

Another new exhibit, "Souvenirs from the Orient", originated with Maine sea captains who traveled to the Asia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibit includes exotic costumes and masks as well as Chinese children’s clothing and shoes carefully preserved by the families of the ships' captains.

The Penobscot Marine Museum was founded in 1936 and is Maine’s oldest maritime museum and comprises structures, artifacts, exhibits and interpreters tell the stories of Maine’s seafaring past. Visitors enjoy a self-guided tour on a beautiful campus of 13 historic buildings, including ship captains’ homes, an early town hall, and two boat houses. Children’s activities and interactive displays are geared towards a multi-level experience to educate all ages on the rich maritime history of the Penobscot Bay region and beyond.
