Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

Housed in the elegant Greek-revival William Scarbrough House, the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum celebrates Savannah’s rich maritime heritage. This museum, once the home of William Scarbrough, president of the Savannah Steamship Company, showcases exhibits on 19th-century shipping, model ships, and the Civil War. The detailed models and historical artifacts provide a tangible connection to the city’s seafaring past. Outside, visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk through the expansive gardens, which also serve as a picturesque setting for private events.
