Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) is located on an 18-acre waterfront campus in Maryland. Before the museum was built, the area used to house seafood packing houses and workboats could be seen lined up along the docks.
The museum opened in 1965 to capture and display the economical, social, and geological history of Chesapeake Bay.
Many of the exhibitions portray what life was like from the time of sailboats, to the steamboat era, to the advent of gas-powered engines.
In addition, the CBMM research library has a collection of over 10,000 volumes. Also, its collection of watercraft totals more than 80 boats.
