Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum of Savannah, Georgia was started in 1966. It offers exhibits like ship models, maritime antiques and paintings. Much of the artifacts date from the Atlantic trade era when travel between England and America was extremely necessary. This places many of the artifacts around the 18th or 19th century in date.

Also a part of the museum is the Scarbrough House. This house is where the museum's collections are kept. The house was built for William Scarbrough, who was an owner of one of the important Savannah Steamships. He was also president of the Savannah Steamship Company.

While touring the museum, guests can enjoy the garden which was carefully planned with sensitive plants. The garden is open for guests to walk or just sit and enjoy. Admission into the museum is currently $8 for adults. Students, seniors and anyone with a military or discount card can enter for $6. Children seven and under are free. Local residents can obtain free admission if they bring one or more paying guests. Group pricing is $5 per person for groups of ten or more. There is a gift shop onsite with books, art, and history information.
