The mission of the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport is to collect, preserve, and interpret material culture pertinent to the maritime history of the Lower Cape Fear region for all people.
NCMMS interprets maritime history and culture from Native American times to the present day US Coast Guard. Our desire is to represent all people in the Cape Fear Region of North Carolina from Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender, Columbus, and Robeson Counties, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sex, or ability. Some programs at NCMMS are geared for Little Mariners (4-6 year olds), First Mates (7-12 year olds), Quartermasters (13-18 year olds) or Salty Dogs (18+). Many programs are free while some have a small fee to cover supply costs.
