Enjoy rare artifacts, exciting exhibits, uniforms, medals, documents and photographs. It's all right here throughout nine decks and their 455'x109' cargo vessel.

They are a world-class, shipboard, maritime museum dedicated to honoring the men and women who built, sailed, protected and provided service, worldwide, through the American Merchant Fleet since 1775 during times of peace and war. The American Victory Ship Mariners Museum endeavors to serve the community at large by preserving and interpreting maritime culture, folkways and the legacy of maritime industry through engaging youth and sharing a passion and understanding of the impact maritime industry on local, regional and national economies. They look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Relive History Cruises

As one of only 4 fully-operational WWII ships in the country, the American Victory Ship ventures out on our critically-acclaimed Relive History Cruises twice per year. The cruises, which normally take place in the spring and fall, will allow you to take pleasure in sailing throughout the Channel aboard our maritime vessel, relive historic traditions, enjoy music and entertainment and feast on breakfast, lunch and a snack. At the current time, the ship must enter dry dock per the U.S. Coast Guard prior to sailing again. We will be announcing our next cruise following this dry dock process.
