Step into the world of maritime history with an exciting, hands-on experience for all ages!

The History Museum of Mobile and the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf invite you to bring your own ship to life. In this interactive workshop, guests will discover the fascinating evolution of shipbuilding and navigation through time—then put that knowledge into action by designing, building, and testing their own ship for buoyancy.

Join us on Saturday, April 25th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf. Activities will take place in the classroom and the Ships Ahoy exhibit on Deck 2A. No RSVP is required, though guests are encouraged to arrive at 10:00 AM to get the full experience. The workshop is included with regular museum admission.

Afterward, continue your adventure by exploring the museum or heading to the History Museum of Mobile to experience the Sunken Treasures, Ancient Seas exhibit. Regular admission rates apply at the History Museum.

Come ready to learn, create, and set sail on a journey through history!
