Museum of New Jersey Maritime History

.





On a rainy Saturday about a month or so back I had the opportunity to take a ride South to the Museum of New Jersey Maritime History that is located in Beach Haven and found it to be an outstanding research asset for local divers...




The museum is located at Dock Road and West Avenue and maintains an impressive website...


The museum is the works of Deb Whitcraft and Jim Vogel and the result of over 33 years of collecting artifacts and research. The museum also offers an impressive library\research area with an incredible amount of photos, newspaper articles, books, and computer internet stations.






Some artifact restoration is done onsite and we had the opportunity to tour the back areas to see the progress being made on several items...



Well worth the ride and check the website often for events...
