Visit This Fascinating Shipwreck Museum In Delaware For A Unique Glimpse Into The Past
The turbulent history of the Delaware coast is fascinating, and even to this day, ships wreck along the coast. Our state has had its fair share of pirates, lost treasures, mutinies and more in the waters offshore, and the Discoversea Shipwreck Museum hosts one of the largest collections of recovered artifacts in the country.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

It would be easy to pass by the Discoversea Shipwreck Museum, but if you did, you'd be missing out on one of Delaware's greatest treasures!
No maritime museum is complete without a huge display of pirate-era weaponry. Looking at these guns will make you feel like you've stepped back in time.

In September, they’re open daily from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from October to December, and in April and May, you can visit on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. From January through March, the museum is closed.
