Programs & Events

Programs

The NC Maritime Museum at Southport offers several ways to learn about Maritime history and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our area and people:

Programs

Each month, our Museum Friends sponsor the Third Tuesday Evening Adult Education series for up to 250 people on topics of community interest with light refreshments and a guest lecturer/panel.  The Museum offers several educational program series for adults per year, including organized educational excursions in the Spring/Fall Into History Series.

In addition, we offer Children’s After School, Pre-School, and Vacation Series programs on the topics of American Indians of the Coastal Plains, the Pirates of the Cape Fear, shipbuilding, riverfront archaeology, Blockade Runners, fishing, and Fort Johnston. Each summer, “Pirate Boot Camps” and Pirate Days are a fun way for children and families to participate in our Educational Programs.
