Two firsts this year—not only do we get to work with students from the Bath Middle School Alternative Pathways Program, it's the first time class is held in the Watercraft Restoration Center 🪵🪚

Our Discovery Boatbuilding program emphasizes and develops each student’s personal growth, teamwork, leadership, responsibility and problem solving. Safe work practices and shop skills are developed early on to ensure student safety. It's not just academic, it's also social, and amazing to have a program for our local middle school students.

After seven fun-filled STEAMbox Family Workshops, we are taking a break for the summer season! Some highlights from our monthly hands-on workshops include testing blubber gloves to understand seal blubber, investigating buoyancy with handmade boats, designing our own constellations, creating bark rubbings from different Maine trees, getting a glimpse inside real oysters, comparing our own wingspan to those of the osprey and bald eagle, and investigating native plants on campus before making our own recycled planters.

We can't wait to see everyone again in the fall for educator-led STEM + the Arts investigations of even more maritime topics! STEAMbox programs are generously funded by First Federal Savings, allowing us to offer this program free to the public.

Unfortunately, our cruise boat will not be ready for tours on Saturday, May 16 as planned.

We are also disappointed to not be heading out on the water tomorrow, but folks can pick up a discount code to redeem for future trips, any time this season!

Hope to see everyone will still come by for FREE admission, walking tours, family activities, demonstrations, and more!

We’re firing up the oven in Bath! 🔥

Tomorrow (Saturday) is our one-day soft open at the Maine Maritime Museum, and we couldn’t ask for a better day to kick things off. While our formal opening day for the season is Thursday, May 28, we’re opening tomorrow as the museum is hosting their annual Community Day with FREE admission for everyone, the return of schooner MARY E, a ceremonial flag-raising at noon, and a campus full of activities for the whole family.

Come find us on the waterfront from 10 to 2. We’ll have fresh wood-fired pizza coming out hot, plus cold brew coffee, beer (🤯), and wine to sip while you take in the Kennebec.

A quick note: our beer garden at the Museum is free and open to the public all summer long! You never need a museum ticket to hang out with us on the waterfront. Tomorrow just happens to be a great day to wander the whole campus too, since the museum is free for all.

See you on the river. Cheers! 🍕⚓️
