I can't believe a museum of this caliber is just a suggested donation. I was blown away by the exhibit on the Terminal Islanders. It was so well done and imactful for such a small space. The sections on canning, the history of the building, and the kids area were also impressive. I would definitely go back as it seems they are continuing to make updates to exhibits
The most interesting thing was the tragedic history of Japanese americans durimg the Second World War as well as the model ships. If you have some free time you can try here.
Small museum with lots of things. You need to be fully vaccinated to go in. You can park off the street. It’s take a couple hours to go through everything. Museum is free but you can donate to there. All the models that they have make lots of joy for kids.
Renovations of surrounding area just finished. Really a terrific area with lots to see and do. There is the American Merchant Marine Veterans Memorial next to the Maritime Museum, which is adjacent to a number of docks with ships and boats of every description.
