Very educational and interesting museum. Divided into categories, so you can spend more time on what interests you. *Free* Nice gift shop area with decent prices.

Free entry, very interesting, good air conditioning, not too big, probably 20-60 minutes depending on how much time you spend reading all the exhibits. This place is great. If you have any interest in early American commerce, the ocean, or South Carolina's role in the early (1700s on) lumber industry, it is the place to visit.

We spent some time in Georgetown today in this museum and having excellent time. It's a self-guided museum. It's free! But please leave a small token of appreciation to help cover the cost. Lots of wonderful maritime history artifacts really interesting time there.

Lovely free maritime museum in Georgetown, SC. I spent about 1 hour here reading all of the plaques and viewing the exhibits. They have a stamp for the Georgetown Lighthouse for those who have a lighthouse passport book. They also have a small gift shop with a few drinks for sale on those hot SC summer days. Restrooms are available on-site. Parking is on the street.

Limited hours but still an interesting opportunity to learn about the maritime history of this port city. The museum opened in 2011 and is a collection of artifacts and memorabilia and artwork. There's quite a lot here including ship models, paintings and even a lens from the North Island lighthouse. Entry to the museum is free (donations appreciated) and there is street parking. I enjoyed my time at this stop.

A great little museum! Lots of model boats to illustrate the rich maritime history of the Low Country. It’s easy to miss as your walking, but, don’t make that mistake! It’s well worth popping in. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming!

The South Carolina Maritime Museum is an ok museum. There are some nice life stories on wallboards and upstairs there are displays providing a lot of information about the transatlantic slave trade. Georgetown smells really bad because of a paper factory in town.

My daughter and I were exploring George Town South Carolina and happened to come upon the marina. We did photos on the marina, then we noticed the museum. The South Carolina M. Museum was a tremendous educational experience. It is free to visit and educational. The staff are very friendly, and dedicated and knowledgeable. Unfortunately I was not able to take photos, my phone needed charging.
