The museum's collection includes four historic museum ships and one lighthouse:

- USS Torsk (SS-423), a WWII-era submarine
- Chesapeake, a lightship
- Seven Foot Knoll Light, a screw-pile lighthouse
All are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The three ships are also National Historic Landmarks.
