Maritime Museum - About Us

Mission
The Havre de Grace Maritime Museums mission is to collect, document, preserve and interpret the maritime skills and heritage of the Lower Susquehanna River and Upper Chesapeake Bay. We are a maritime museum in Maryland but are in close proximity to Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

History
On December 28, 1987, the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum was officially incorporated and sanctioned by the state of Maryland in Harford County. The founding members include Charles E. Carter, John F. Carroll, Eldon duPont Homsey, Robert L. McVey, Andrew A. Thompson, and Josiah V. Thompson.

In 1988, a historically-minded group of local citizens founded the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum as a private, nonprofit, educational institution. They recognized that the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Lower Susquehanna River and the Upper Chesapeake Bay was fast disappearing. The Maritime Museums was established to help protect these maritime traditions for future generations.
