Come in and talk to maritime archaeologists from the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, New England’s only National Marine Sanctuary. Rich with maritime history, this underwater museum located just off our shores is home to hundreds of historic shipwrecks, from schooners to fishing vessels. Sanctuary archaeologists will be on hand to show visitors the types of equipment used to located and document historic shipwrecks like the steamship Portland, lost with all hands in 1898. A mock shipwreck will also be set up on land to allow people of all ages to try the techniques archaeologists use to document a sunken vessel.
