Seasonally open from May to October each year, the Sail, Power and Steam Museum protects and showcases the rich maritime history of Maine. The museum is located on the site of the historic Snow Shipyard and is fun to visit for all ages, offering visitors the chance to learn about sailing and seamanship by means of classes and day-sailing trips (these need to be booked in advance). You will also find several working model boats, steam engines and a made-to-scale model lime kiln, as well as a wealth of photos depicting early sail and steam craft and models of historic ships.
