Love seeing our volunteers in action! 💦⚓
Give our volunteers a power washer, a water de-ionizer, and one of our historic vessels, and they’ll have it looking like new in no time. Keeping the museum and our boats looking their best takes a lot of hard work, and we’re so grateful for the dedicated volunteers who make it happen.

Visitors couldn’t help but stop, watch, and even pull out their cameras! Thank you to our incredible crew for helping keep the Morro Bay Maritime Museum shipshape. Interested in volunteering with us? We’d love to have you aboard!

What a wonderful day of learning and creativity! 🌿✨

Our Maritime Explorers had the opportunity to learn from members of the Salinan Tribe, exploring traditional practices through hands-on activities. The kids experienced grinding rocks, learned about Salinan culture, and created their own beautiful dream catchers to take home.

Thank you to the Salinan Tribe for sharing your knowledge, traditions, and time with our young explorers. Experiences like these help connect children to the rich cultural history of the Central Coast in meaningful and memorable ways.

💙Swipe through to see some of their incredible creations! Donate today to keep maritime education free for kids!
