Testimonials

Wow, so much to see! Our kids loved it! Something for everyone. We could have easily spent another hour here. Fascinating knot displays, swords, model boats, and of course a tour of a fishing boat that was once on the $5 bill! All for a $20 donation. Great family activity.

Really enjoyed my visit. My guide, Harold knew so much about the history and provided an excellent tour. Saw some items from my childhood that brought back memories

Fascinating tour. If you can make sure you have a guide. Mine, Ted, had experience at sea and he could share his knowledge very vividly. Lots of insight into what it takes to get the fish to our dinner plates.
Stephen K.
Very nice. The docent we had was very knowledgeable. I would love to go back. There is so much to see. Displays were very nice, well displayed, and marked for further detailed information.

My grandchildren and I had a wonderful tour of the BCP45 from Richard. Beautifully restored, and a great experience for the kids.
