More details
maritime history museum and historic ships
The Independence Seaport Museum interprets Philadelphia-region history through the lens of the Delaware River with galleries, exhibits, and two docked historic vessels. Visitors can climb aboard the cruiser Olympia and tour the World War II–era submarine Becuna, explore maritime exhibits, and walk waterfront spaces. The site combines indoor museum displays with hands-on shipboard exploration along the river.
