Independence Seaport Museum

Independence Seaport Museum is a non-profit educational institution dedicated to collecting, exhibiting and making available art, artifacts, and archival materials pertaining to the rich maritime history and traditions of the Delaware River, Bay and tributaries, and to interpreting general themes relating to civilization and the sea. Both international and national in scope, but regional in emphasis, the Museum is committed to enhancing an appreciation of our maritime heritage, to exploring the impact of this history on the forces of commerce and culture which shaped this region, and to fostering an awareness of the continuing role of our waterways in contemporary life.
