Delmarva's Maritime past of shipwrecks and piracy is vividly brought back to life here at DiscoverSea Museum. The museum features an ever- changing "edutainment" exhibit. It houses one of the most comprehensive collections of shipwreck artifacts on the Delmarva Peninsula. There are thousands of items on display ranging from gold and Silver bars, coins, weapons, china and items used aboard early day sailing ships. The seashells, marine life tanks and our working lab will help to educate guests of all ages about the aspects of treasures from our ocean's depths.
DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum is an ever-changing exhibit that expands and diversifies with the acquisitions of new artifacts as they are recovered. Our collection of shipwreck and recovered artifacts is one of the largest in the Mid-Atlantic and contains shipwreck artifacts both regional and worldwide.
Through your DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum visit, you will travel through a hands-on experience, which will enable you to shake hands with history.
Admission is free.

Awesome spot! Free museum upstairs! Real artifacts uncovered from shipwrecks! I even got to chat with the fella who finds all the shipwrecks/treasures and learned some of the history behind it all! Such a cool place to stop! Just wish they had some more museum-specific souvenirs!

This free museum is a great place to check out with the family on a rainy day! Everyone is very kind and some really neat things are shown. You are allowed to take pictures but no video and no sharing them on social media (hence why I only have a few of the lobby and steps) so you will just have to stop by and see what you think yourself! *note* it is on the smaller side so if it gets crowded you may not be able to see it all.*

This was a very fun interesting place to visit at the end of the boardwalk . I learned some new things about the ocean and diving apparatus. Wish I had taken more pictures but my phone was dying . Also enjoyed the displays and presentation
