Explore Chesapeake Bay life and maritime history with museum educators, Living Classrooms, and professional mariners from the crew of the Mildred Belle, a 1948 Chesapeake Bay buyboat. Families can investigate traditional sailing tools and practice tying useful knots while learning how historic working vessels connect science, history, and the bay’s ecosystem.
The program is in Q?rius on the ground floor. Enter through the Constitution Avenue entrance; Q?rius is immediately to the right. The location is wheelchair accessible.
ASL interpretation, CART captioning, and audio description may be requested in advance. The museum advises allowing at least two weeks because later requests may not be accommodated.
