The second group would focus on developing seamanship skills for kids and young adults with developmental disabilities.

The museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit looks at the historical interest of mariners in the weather, and the ways that science and technology have addressed the challenges of predicting it. There is a TV weather forecaster’s studio space, where visitors can try their hand at giving a weather forecast, see themselves as rescuers would using infrared vision technology, view the earth from space and see for themselves the generation of storms over the vast Pacific.
