The Michigan Maritime Museum is a museum and research library located in
South Haven in the U.S. state of
Michigan. The museum is located next to the Dyckman Avenue
bascule bridge on the
Black River just in from
Lake Michigan, the second-largest by volume of the five
Great Lakes. The museum specializes in the maritime history of the state of Michigan and the lake of the same name.[1]
Description
The Michigan Maritime Museum includes five buildings for the display, interpretation, repair, and preservation of Michigan's maritime heritage.
Four other ships and boats make up the rest of the museum's on-water fleet.[3] On static display outside are the restored 1923 tugboat Wilhelm Baum, donated in 2016,[4] and the Evelyn S., a 1939-built 50 feet (15 m) wooden gill net fish tug.[5] Several smaller boats are displayed inside.
