Item Description
Come and explore the Independence Seaport Museum with a family four pack! Philadelphia has been an important seaport town since the 1600s. The Independence Seaport Museum is located on Philadelphia’s waterfront, and traces this history through exhibits, demonstrations, and several ships on display.
One permanent exhibit, Home Port: Philadelphia, unites the museum's collection of maritime objects, artifacts and art with interactive exhibits. Coming to America illustrates the experience of 19th-century immigrants. Protecting the Nation features a general quarters drill aboard the actual bridge of the guided missile destroyer.
Diver of the Deep, the second permanent installation, is a fascinating study of the development of diving. Exhibits include The Call of the Sea, chronicling man's first attempts to descend beneath the waves -- all the way back to Alexander the Great. A New Era in Underwater Exploration highlights the introduction of SCUBA gear. Underwater Archaeology features artifacts recovered from sunken ships.
The Historic Ship Zone, outside the Museum, features two historic war vessels and a number of smaller craft. Today visitors can tour the ship and appreciate the rugged life of America's early sailors. The barber shop, sick bay, galley, bake shop and engine room bring those adventurous days at sea to life.
