Independence Seaport Museum

The Independence Seaport Museum, formerly known as the Philadelphia Maritime Museum, delves into the maritime history of Philadelphia and the Delaware River. Housed in a two-story exhibition space, the museum features a variety of exhibits, including model ships and historical displays. Two National Historic Landmark vessels, the cruiser Olympia and the submarine Becuna, are also on display, offering visitors a tangible connection to the city’s nautical past. Today, guests can explore these historic vessels and learn about the rich maritime heritage through interactive and informative exhibits.
