Maritime Exhibits
Harbor Watch Exhibits
Step aboard the Charles E. Trail Naval Bridge to admire the view of Elliott Bay - a busy working port. Give commands from the captain's chair or look through the big eye binoculars to explore the variety of vessels in Puget Sound. Wondering what kind of boat that is? Use our ship identification touch screen to find out!
Also on this level are our historic ship models and photographs.
Sharing the Sound
Discover the magnificence of the Puget Sound, its diverse natural habitat, and how it is shared for recreational and commercial use. Climb into a sea kayak and paddle through a virtual Elliott Bay at our KAYAK JOURNEY exhibit or steer a containership into port at our AT THE HELM exhibit.
Sustaining the Sea
Puget Sound is the home port for the North Pacific fishing fleet. Learn about the fishing industry - how fish are caught, processed, and sold. Highlights include our KIDS SKIFF where young mariners can operate a fish conveyer or skipper the skiff or experience what it's like to be rescued at sea at our SAFETY AT SEA exhibit.
Ocean Trade Gallery
Puget Sound is the gateway to the Pacific Rim. Discover how products are packed, moved, and shipped around the world. Learn about the activities that take place at our Port city by driving a remote control tug boat at our WORKHORSES OF THE SEA exhibit or try your hand at moving cargo at our popular CRANE WORKS exhibit.
