Welcome to the Maine Maritime Museum blog! We are gearing up for the busy summer season, so check back regularly for updates on new programs, tour schedules, special events and more.

New this weekend, our latest exhibit, Ingrained: The Art of the Shipcarver, opens in the Kramer Gallery. Ingrained includes some beautiful and rarely exhibited work from Maine shipcarvers, as well as a collection of tools and the workbench of renowned Newcastle carver Edbury Hatch. Among the ornate and interesting artifacts included in the exhibit is this pattern used to design figureheads, which was found in a barn in Bath. Stop by this weekend and be one of the first to view this unique exhibit!
