Age of Exploration chronicles the developments in shipbuilding, ocean navigation, and cartography that made the voyages of the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries possible.

The spectacular first-order lighthouse lens from the Cape Charles lighthouse welcomes visitors to The Mariners' fascinating Chesapeake Bay gallery. The jewel of The Mariners' Museum's collection is The Miniature Ships of August F. Crabtree, one of its most popular exhibits.

Great Hall of Steam relates the story of the oceangoing commercial steamship through ship models and murals. Defending the Seas tells the story of the navy's important role in our nation's past, present, and future. Central to this story is the theory of sea power - that a nation's economic, political, and cultural powers are strongly tied to control of the seas. One of the world's premier boat collections is now open to the public. The new International Small Craft Center opened on May 17, 2003, at The Mariners' Museum. The 17,500 square foot facility features state-of-the-art environmental controls to protect this important collection.
