Salem Maritime National Historic Site, National Historic Site in Salem, United States
The Salem Maritime site extends across 9 acres of waterfront land, featuring 12 historic structures, a replica tall-ship, and multiple museums along Salem Harbor.
Established in 1938 as the first National Historic Site in the United States, this complex served as a center for maritime trade between North America and Asia.
The Derby House from 1762 and Custom House from 1819 display Georgian architecture and harbor activities through preserved furniture and maritime artifacts.
The Regional Visitor Center opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering guided tours, educational films, and exhibits about maritime history.
The Friendship of Salem, constructed in 1997, functions as a museum ship replicating an East Indiaman vessel from 1797 that transported goods worldwide.
