Ships at Sea Maritine Museum is housed in the lovely Greek Revival Scarbrough House designed by English architect William Jay. The home in the historic district was restored by a Historic Savannah Foundation in the 70s and in the 90s became the maritime museum. One may enjoy the museum at leisure and enjoy amazing ship models, painting, and other antiques like scrimshaw, china, and other relics. Upon arrival be sure to get a mini flashlight to look inside the models at all the incredible details on the ships.

It is a phenomenal museum, with fantastic ship models. It also has wonderful gardens outside. There are many great artworks as well. Scrimshaw, bow figurines, ships in a bottle, and more. I highly recommend it if you visit Savannah.

This is the real gem of our trip to Savannah. Sure we saw the sights, rode the river, and generally went everywhere we could in our three days here. Don Goll knew so much about every little details of the models. Go here if you like history.

This museum has amazing model ships from old wooden vessels to current. The models are huge and have great detail. The building itself is beautiful. The grounds, though small, are pleasant to walk around.

The displays here are phenomenal in their detail. Most notably the Titanic. But other ships are also reproduced with great detail, including cut-a-ways that allow you to see inside the ship. We were a bit put off by how difficult it was to find an entrance into the museum. Renovations were being done on the front entrance, so we had to enter by the back through the garden. Signage was poor and we had to ask nearby workers for directions.

You don't necessarily have to be a maritime enthusiast to enjoy this museum. It is housed in a beautiful historic home and the displays cover many rooms and floors. There are several guides around to answer questions. There's artwork and ships in bottles and the architecture of the building adds to the delight and there is a garden on the property as well. It's appropriate for all ages.
