Explorer Membership

Because of our Members, we are able to provide meaningful experiences at The Mariners’ for our community. Whether a student is planting the eelgrass they grew in Mariners’ Lake during an environmental education program or a navy diver comes to see Monitor’s turret for the first time in 20 years, people from all generations and walks of life connect with one another and the world’s waters here. Together, we continue striving to fulfill our mission for our local, national, and global communities.

Your membership not only offers wonderful benefits, but it also helps to foster a strong and vibrant community. Our original 1930 charter states that we exist to “promote the public welfare,” which caused us to shift our mindset in 2016 and operate not as an attraction, but as a community resource. Using servant leadership as a guide, The Mariners’ is committed to promoting engagement to our Museum and Living Collections through access and value, which is all possible because of your support.
