Very Impressed - would come again!
A must see when in the area. Allow a few hours since there is so much to see and know that it is not air conditioned ( except for a small enclosed section on one of the levels). We came on a very hot day and still was so impressed at how well the history was displayed and all the areas we could explore. I wish they had a few more fans out given the heat and humidity, but still enjoyed this visit. It’s one I would come back and do again!

Surprisingly great
We happened on this museum by luck. It was one of the best things we did on our visit to this community. It is inside a small older freighter which itself was worth the visit. You can access the engine room and see guidance systems used an dhow personnel lived on board in those days. There are loads of displays covering the history of maritime shipping on the great lakes. Who knew the George Steinbrenner, built by the family;s business shipwrecked? There is so much information you can spend one hour or many hours. Good for children though there are some stairs and ramps. Two thumbs up.
