North Carolina Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Beaufort, United States.
The North Carolina Maritime Museum presents exhibits about shipbuilding, fishing activities, and coastal heritage across three floors of educational displays.
The museum originated from a natural history collection at the U.S. Fisheries Laboratory on Pivers Island, transitioning to its current form in 1984.
Through exhibits and programs, the museum documents North Carolina's seafaring traditions, commercial fishing practices, and maritime industries from past centuries.
