Programs: The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum plays a vital role in preservation and appreciation of the significance of the Chesapeake on the lives of people who live, work and recreate on her waters. The Museum's 18-acre campus offers ongoing interpretive exhibitions covering Chesapeake Bay maritime history and culture including Native American life, Anglo-American settlement, 17th and 18th, 19th and 20th century trade, naval history, the Bay's unique watercraft and boat building traditions, navigation, waterfowling, boating, and seafood harvesting.
