Review & FAQ:

Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park Museum is located in a former shipyard in Baltimore that was converted into a heritage park. It features a gallery that exhibits and honors African-American maritime history.

As an African American heritage site, the park and the museum tell the story of the first black-owned shipyard in the States and its owners Frederick Douglass, Isaac Myers, one a former slave and the other a free-born black man. The museum offers a range of hands-on activities such as boat building, which kids particularly enjoy.

The park and museum are the campus and the headquarters of the Living Classrooms Foundation. This non-profit organization promotes hands-on education or “learning by doing,” job training, and cultural preservation.
