Rich collection of models and maritime artifacts. Fascinating displays on the General Slocum, Morro Castle and Andrea Doria disasters. All located in 19th century Fort Schuyler. Thank you for making this great museum available.
Visit every year during the Admirals dinner, and always find a piece of history that I did not know about. There is a wall to fallen alumni that I always visit and pay my respects.
I was in the American Blue Jackets. We were stationed there in the 60s. It was a Maritime College then. I was blessed to be a part of this organization. My best memory of this place was the huge cannon in the gym. We learned how to operate this weapon, under the command of Commander Harms. Best part of my life.
Would have been a 5 star rating but for the paucity of attention given to the Coast Artillery portion of the history of Fort Schuyler. And no mention of my favorite tune: No Sleep Til Brooklyn.
Love this college. They have a very concise mission and goal. If you have an interest in the military, engineering, naval studies you should definitely look into this college.
Went with a friend who attends the University there, I loved the museum and if youre interested in maritime or have served in the Navy youll love it as well
Very nice view
A lot of rich history; hundreds of model ships, amazing artifacts, and beautiful nautical paintings.
SUNY Maritine College is one of the nations top Maritine Colleges. An excellent museum exhibit.
A hidden gem of Maritime history! Wish I could have spent more time exploring the museum; family was impatient.
Such an amazing musuem. So informative and historic. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
Actually there to tour SUNY Maritime, but did spend time (not enough) i. The museum. Worth a trip back.
Part of a school, no museum staff to answer questions, set up in the hallway outside of classrooms, mostly just model ships.
Rich history, amazing exhibits, all encapsulated by an impressive fortress.
What a beautiful place! Im looking at SUNY Maritime for my colleges!

2022-05-17Overlooking 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!

2021-12-24A 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!

2022-04-03This is a hidden diamond and it is free. If you visit it you will learn a lot and you will be transported to the same moment in history that you are looking at, it can be a photo or structure but you will have that restlessness to know more about that time. Highly recommended and you will get home with a lot of knowledge.

2019-05-30You know, not much is known here for first time visitors.Although its connected to a college there are several reasons on why its one of my favorite museums.1) The quiet peaceful atmosphere. The museum is insde the fort and connected to the library. No one will bother you in your visit. If you come during the semester, youll see students studying and on the weekends, you might even see some renovating the exhibits. Dont be afraid to ask questions here.2) The museum itself. All the artifacts placed here are full of maritime history and a lot of them are very old. Although not very interactive (aside from the occasional wheels and bells), its heavily informative.As you walk throughout the museum you can feel the historical significance throughout the exhibits.3) The area. Food-wise, nah. However the museum is is very close to the gigantic east river. Youre free to walk around campus breath in the fresh air, jog, fish,bike, or even enjoy the sufferings of the cadets walking around. The campus is a beautiful place and really adds a certain feel to the museum

2018-02-13So many amazing historic artifacts, and documents on display! This museum is a fun, free and interesting place for anybody interested in American history. Self guided tours, you could just walk through or spend hours taking the time to investigate everything the museum has on display.

2019-12-30This is a great place to visit. You will be able to take a walk around the beautiful maritime college campus. Lots of places for a photo shoot. You will enjoy the trip to a peninsula most New Yorker dont know about. The look under the Throgs Neck bridge.

2019-09-05First visiting the museum while my husband had to report to his NOSC.There are so many things to see (lots of artifacts) and much to learn about the Maritime industry and ships around the world. Another great museum inside the Maritime campus.

2018-10-15They continue to get better. Ive been visiting the museum for the last 20 years and its well set up and in a beautiful setting. Must see to learn about our history as a Maritime Nation.
