The Annapolis Maritime Museum seeks to connect the richness of the maritime heritage of the Annapolis area with our local youth and adults.The Museum operates from a waterside campus on the shores of Back Creek, with unequaled views of Annapolis Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay.
The Museum campus is the site of the last remaining oyster packing plant in the area, the McNasby's Oyster Packing Company. The McNasby building was severely damaged by Hurricane Isabel in 2003, but has been restored, thanks to community support, as the Bay Experience Center -- an interactive facility like no other. It is now home to our signature exhibit, "Oysters on the Half Shell." Programming, such as our popular summer concert series and winter lecture series, continues.

The Museum is host tomeetings, community events, lectures, concerts, and children's educational activities. It is the launching point for the Museum's tours tothe iconic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse -- the most famous symbol of the upper Chesapeake Bay.

With a great deal of community support, the Museum has continued to do great things -- full steam ahead! We have accomplished much and there are big plans in the offing.Join us. Participate in history and in keeping history alive.
