Mel Fisher Maritime Museum

Key West

Welcome to the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, the only fully accredited museum in the Florida Keys. Inside you will find an extensive collection of artifacts from 17th-century shipwrecks like the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, Santa Margarita, and Henrietta Marie (1622 fleet).

The museum works to research, interpret, and exhibit the maritime history of Florida and the Caribbean in ways that increase knowledge, enrich the spirit, and stimulate inquiry. Your group can walk around and see all the various exhibits and collections that showcase maritime archaeology, or you can take a behind the scenes tour of the Conservation Lab, where actual artifacts are worked on. Visit the 3D Artifacts Gallery, the archives, the Slave Trade Collection, and the Museum Store before you go!
