Loved to see the history - Being from inland areas, this part of our state always amazes me. I can't remember every detail but I can't wait to go back!

This is a beautiful museum even if you have no interest in ships, but especially if you do. Stroll through the gorgeous garden before entering as it is a beautiful, peaceful place right in the city. The work done on building all the ship models in the museum is very impressive. I couldn't believe how large the models were. Some... More

This exhibit is in a beautiful restored house with lovely grounds. This should be a must see when in savannah. They also have a Great Titanic exhibit which was very special to me because my Grandmother and Great Uncle were survivors of the Titanic.

They have an amazing garden behind the museum to walk through before you go into the museum. If you like ships, their history and seeing small hand built replicas of ships throughout history then this is for you. If you don't like ships then if you are in the area the gardens are nice to walk through.

The entry way is through a garden which was very nice. The museum is in a two story plus basement old house. The stairs are kinda narrow. There are model ships in glass cases throughout the house. These are not the plastic models from a kit. These models are up to six feet long and took a lot of time... More

In a historic house associated with the shipping business. Nice garden with paths in back of the house. Easy to miss even while walking by it, so be persistent. Has off street parking and a museum shop.

For a small admissions fee, the museum was impressive with many model ships displayed showing the history for the many different types of ships that were used.
