We would like to extend a thank you to our friends at Signet Maritime Corporation for their donation this beautiful model of the Mabel Colle tugboat. She was the first of her kind for her propulsion methods, as her propellers can rotate 360 degrees. We are excited to accept this model into our collection! Stay tuned for news about when we will officially open to the public so you can see the Mabel Colle in person.

Danny Lewis, a longtime friend of the Maritime Center, donated some model boats this week for use in our educational programming and our collections. Danny frequently donates artifacts and tools related to fishing and crabbing, shipbuilding, and local history. We appreciate his contribution to our museum!

If you have an artifact you would like to donate to our museum, please email msmmuseum@gmail.com and tell us about it!
