American shipbuilding began at the mouth of the Kennebec River four hundred years ago. Explore the waterway where it all took place with this fascinating one-hour cruise. Begin at the Museum’s Percy and Small shipyard with its life-size evocation of the colossal wooden schooner Wyoming. Travel up river to view modern steel shipbuilding at Bath Iron Works.  Cruise past Bath, “The City of Ships.”  Spot lighthouses as you voyage past Doubling Point Light & the Kennebec Range Lights. Nesting osprey are a common sight. There’s something for everybody!
