List of museum ships in North America

Last updated

This list of museum ships in North America is a list of notable museum ships located in the continent of North America and it may include ones in overseas parts of Canada and the United States. This includes "ships preserved in museums" defined broadly, but is intended to be limited to substantial (large) ships or, in a few cases, very notable boats or dugout canoes or the like. This does not include submarines; see List of submarine museums for those. This includes ships formerly serving as museums or preserved at museums, as well as current ones. This includes ships on static display or floating and sometimes used for excursions. It includes only genuine historic ships; replica ships, some associated with museums, are listed separately in the List of ship replicas.

Contents

Some historic ships actively used for excursions, and not previously or currently associated with museums, are included in the list of classic vessels. For shipwrecks that may be visited by diving, including some perhaps associated with museums, see List of shipwrecks.

Ships whose coordinates are included below may be seen together in map accessed by clicking on "Map all coordinates using OpenStreetMap" at the right side of this page.

    A lightvessel, or lightship, is a ship that acts as a lighthouse. They are used in waters that are too deep or otherwise unsuitable for lighthouse construction. Although some records exist of fire beacons being placed on ships in Roman times, the first modern lightvessel was off the Nore sandbank at the mouth of the River Thames in London, England, placed there by its inventor Robert Hamblin in 1734. The type has become largely obsolete; lighthouses replaced some stations as the construction techniques for lighthouses advanced, while large, automated buoys replaced others.
