The Marquette Maritime Museum is one of the best kept secrets in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Museum features exhibits on shipwrecks in Marquette and Lake Superior, Early Life-Saving and US Coast Guard, the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Henry B. Smith, and a 3-D Breeches Buoy Exhibition. We also have one of the largest collections of Fresnel lenses on the Great Lakes. This includes a 4th order lens from the Marquette Breakwall, the 3 1/2 order lens from the Huron Island Lighthouse and a 2nd order lens from the Stannard Rock Lighthouse (one of only five of the largest lenses used on the Great Lakes.)
Visit the Museum Gift Shop in person or online. The shop features maritime books, t-shirts, magnets, mugs, ornaments, and other nautical gifts.
Marquette Maritime Museum is ADA accessible. A wheelchair is available for guest use. The Museum participates in the Museums for All program.
