Founded in 1966, the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum features memorabilia related to 18th and 19th century ships that were displayed in the 1819 William Scarbrough House and Gardens. The establishment was in the Greek Revival style of architecture, and the home belonged to one of the owners of the “Savannah,” the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
The garden is one of the largest in the Historic District, and it is filled with colorful, stunning flowerbeds. Inside the house, the main attraction is the collection of ship models, artifacts, and ship-related paintings. There are nine galleries that display various kinds of ships from old colonial sailing vessels to modern navy ships. The museum is open every day except Mondays.
