Reviews
"Fun, free, little educational gem! Especially for those WW2 history buffs!"
"A wonderful hidden gem! A very casual self-touring museum on a beautiful suny college campus in historic Fort Schuyler. Intricate ship models, historical information. Highly recommend!"
"Many comprehensive details about the shipping industry, civilian seamanship, military support, and the infrastructure thereof. I got there during a quiet time of winter weather and students' spring break. I just wish either of the lighthouses were open to the public!"
"Overlooking the old harbor, this museum traces the history of Dubrovnik as a major trading power in the Adriatic. In the 16th century, the city-republic had one of the world’s largest fleets, with more than 180 ships and 4,000 sailors! The exhibits here are in English and include model ships from that time, making it a nice 1-1.5 hour visit if it is raining in Dubrovnik. Pro-tip: buy the Dubrovnik visitor card, it will grant you free access to this and other museums…plus the epic city walls!"
"A pretty neat campus to walk around but even more interesting are the views of the Throgs Neck and water from high points. However, the museum was the most enjoyable aspect. Being just a visitor, I came in to find a ghost-like atmosphere probably due to the holiday approaching and so it was a nice and quiet experience reading all the exhibits and wandering around. The police and staff are very nice and helpful as well! Having driven over the Throgs Neck hundreds of times and not ever stopping by had been a regret of mine until today. Highly recommend it to Maritime museum lovers!"
