St Marys Submarine Museum Inc 102 Saint Marys Street West, St. Marys, GA 31558

"I loved how much history is located here. We came a bit before lunchtime and it was lots of fun doing the scavenger hunt. It got a bit busy so we left before finishing. The lady even gave us a lot of help as we are new to this area."

"The staff are awesome to talk to and very passionate about what they do. If you love history, submarines, or both, this is the spot to go. Plenty of stuff for kids to look at, and they can even use a functional periscope! Would come back anytime."

"This was a fascinating place to learn about submarines. The owner was very gracious to us and we enjoyed talking to her. If you ever get a chance to come here, do it because you will see history.."

"A great place to go to learn about the silent service. This wonderful museum, dedicated to preserving the history of the distinguished US Submarine Force, is located on St Mary’s W street and right off the St Mary’s River. It is right on the street and open to the public for a fee. It is a wonderful place for those interested in naval history and technology. The museum features a collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history of underwater warfare. Visitors can get a glimpse into what life was like for the crew during long deployments in hostile waters. There are two floors to the museum. The lower floor has the gift shop and the earlier boat memorabilia. There is a periscope that can actually see outside. The museum's exhibits include informative displays on the history of submarines, the development of submarine technology, and the role of submarines in various conflicts. You can also watch a short film on a loop that describes the life aboard submarines and the narrator does a good job of explaining what it was like to people not accustomed to submarines. The second floor has lots of artifacts from the newer submarines. If you were on a boat you can request to see the file on your boat. There are many pieces of information in the files from stock footage to articles about the boats. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful. They have done a good job of trying to organize and preserve all the history to present it to the public and to those who served. Overall, the Submarine Museum in St Mary's, Georgia, is a great destination for anyone interested in the history of the US Navy's submarine service. The museum's exhibits provide a unique and educational experience that is well worth a visit."

"This is a small but extensive museum with lots of artifacts and information about submarines. The first floor is all about diesel subs and the second floor is nuclear and international subs. There is a small cost to visit. If you are interested in the topic you could spend hours exploring. Many of the exhibits are not labeled which leaves you wondering what the significance of them is. There is lots of artifacts but it could be a little better organized so there is a flow through the cases. More than 99% of all WWII War Patrol Reports are housed here and there are files on nearly every submarine the US has or has had in service are part of their collection. There is a working periscope which allows you to view the surrounding St Marys area as well as two seats which look like you are driving the sub."
