Their materials regarding the local fishery are exceptional and excellent resource in determining how the present problems of the fishery have arisen. They also raise interesting points on how to solve the problem which you, the visitor, will be able to discern for yourself. The museum is generally well lit.
There are games for the children to play like a 'Treasure Hunt' which allows the children, or adult participants, to search for items throughout the museum. That is a particularly fun game, and my favorite, I recommend it highly. The museum is one of the focal points during the 'Pirate Invasion' which occurs annually during the summer months and is a celebration of maritime history, piracy and community!
Great place to spend some time with kids. Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck exhibit is filled with historical artifacts. Staff is really polite. They give the kids a scavenger hunt worksheet. My kids asked to go back this year. Situated in beautiful and historical Beaufort NC. Admission is free, but they do have a donation box.
They lack a bit in specific parts of history like the near absence of the change that occurred in the area during the 1850's to 1860's when a regional industry based on kerosene, oils and tars extracted from the towering pine trees then growing in the area. In spite of this the information provided is generally true to life and records what instances they have focused on with a fair amount of accuracy.
A must visit Museum
This museum has a great deal to offer. It's arrangement is a bit odd but the materials they have are interesting and in good shape. They offer materials in regard to recent shipping industries, historical pirate information and objects as well as fishing information.
