| The Maritime Museum houses a history of boats from canoes to battleships. Most exhibits are models and drawings, but there are also a few small boats, fascinating both as artistic and technological achievements. A 16-foot model of the Titanic displays a cross-section through the vessel’s steam rooms, galleys, quarters, and banquet halls. Our favorite exhibit was a display of 76 different knots. A rope hangs from the bottom of it so you can try to copy what you see.
The Museum does pose some access challenges. First, the slope up to the front door is moderately difficult. Second, the ramp to the second floor is continuous, with no landings, making it difficult to stop at exhibits along the way. Bathrooms have recently been improved, and each now has an accessible stall.
