Going
to the Maritime museum is a wonderful treat for anyone. The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is a must stop if you are close
to the Waterfront Center. Just looking through the periscope
is worth admission.
Located at the Harbor's
Waterfront Center, formerly known as the Naval Reserve Center, The
Maritime Museum features a balance of highly interactive exhibits,
such as the periscope. The periscope extends from the roof
for anyone to view. Just like an actual periscope from a
submarine, it gives you a 365 degree viewing radius. It is
absolutely the best exhibit at the museum.
This
museum is dedicated to preserving and presenting to the public the
maritime heritage and on-going educational platform to study human
interaction with the marine environment.
