About

Before the Henson Center, this space was known as the Camden Shipyard and Maritime Museum. To preserve our history and continue providing this information to the public, we will continue sharing a Virtual Museum for those who would like to explore the wonders of maritime history. This information is located in the drop down menu above. Enjoy!

Building History

The Camden Shipyard & Maritime Museum (CSMM) was housed in the former Church of Our Savior (1893) and the 1904 Parish Hall expansion was partially made with stone used as ballast from Peary’s 1903 expedition to the Arctic. In addition to the museum dedicated to Camden's maritime history, the building complex hosted Urban Promise's Urban BoatWorks Program and the Camden Carpenters Pre-Apprenticeship Program.​
