Noble Maritime Collection
Noble Maritime Collection
The Noble Maritime Collection includes many attractions for visitors including Art exhibits, rare Maritime collections, educational programs for children of all ages, Print making studios, teacher training, Noble's studio on a houseboat that is made from "the small bones of larger vessels", and an oral history of the Sailors' Sung Harbor.
On Friday, October 21 at 7:00 PM The Noble Maritime Collection hosts a slide-show and lecture by famous photographer Mike Falco. During this lecture visitors can learn the history of Caddell Dry Dock before actually visiting the Caddell Dry Dock: 100 Years exhibit in the East Gallery of the museum. This gives visitors a nice background on the exhibit so they are able to soak in as much history as possible.
One neat feature of the Noble Maritime Collection is the Writing Room. Here, amateur and professional writers can convene in a quite, cozy place to put pen to paper while sitting in chairs that have been used for over 100 years. This room is very historical and was used for over one hundred and sixty years by mariners to write down their stories and poems.
There is a wonderful gift shop in the museum. This is a place to buy fine prints, books, t-shirts, etc. It is open during regular museum hours. The lithographs of John A. Noble are featured. This is also a great place to get children interested in art. The shop features many items catered to the young crowd including toys, and models of ships.
The Noble Maritime Collection is a wonderful fixture in the art world. Visiting would be a great opportunity to get involved in a part of art history.
Hours: 1:00 PM-5:00 PM Thursdays through Sundays
Admission: $25 for adults, $20 for Seniors, and $15 for Children twelve and under.
