What is the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum?
The Roanoke Island Maritime Museum is a free attraction. Staff and vintage boats educate visitors and locals about the craft and history of boat building on Roanoke Island. Permanent staff and volunteers create new boats from traditional techniques and repair relics from the past at the Maritime Museum. Workshops, classes, and opportunities are available free to the general public year-round. The Creef/Davis Boathouse was the sight of the construction of the Elizabeth II, a 16th century representative ship, in 1982. For more information, (252) 475-1750.
