Publisher Info

  • The Museum was founded June 2, 1930, by Archer M. and Anna H. Huntington. Mr. Huntington is the son of Collis P. Huntington, founder of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company and the Central Pacific Railroad. The collection is composed of more than 35,000 maritime items including ship models, scrimshaw, maritime paintings, decorative arts, intricately carved figureheads, navigational instruments, working steam engines, and hundreds of artifacts from the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor, including its steam engine, propeller, and gun turret. Our mission is to place our audiences first; give them access to our collections and facilities; engage them in imaginative experiences; help people understand our relationship to the sea, its relevance to our lives, and its promise for our future.
