Long Description:From the Museum web site
On a unique and compelling site on Hyannis Harbor, the Cape Cod
Maritime Museum serves as a focal point for the Cape and Island's
maritime tradition. Boat building, cultural exhibits, maritime
festivals, marine artifacts, shipwrecks, children's progams and
more flow in and out of the museum building.
Outreach programs and collaborations with area schools, museums,
historical societies and arts programs throughout Cape Cod continue
to grow, promising new and exciting opportunities to share the
maritime experience with residents and visitors alike.
The Museum showcases the Cape's maritime history with a variety
of permanent and temporary exhibits. The exhibits are designed to
appeal to all age groups. Maritime art, educational programs,
classes, lectures and entertainment are part of the Museum’s lineup
of activities. In addition, the Museum will establish its own
permanent collection of artifacts and displays.
The Museum has an extraordinary waterfront location with direct
access to the working marina in the center of Hyannis. This site
enables it to engage in hands-on maritime activities including the
spectacular launch in Septmber 2007 of Catboat Sarah, the
restoration of a 1886 Crosby catboat carried out on the museum
premises.
