Sail Power & Steam Museum

Amazing collection of nautical artifacts and history curated by an actual Camden schooner captain and schooner fleet owner.

Loved this museum. Only one open during the covid situation. Very clean, informative and personal. The owners also teach the local children how to sail out of the donations they get from the museum. This is a must see!!!! We were there for over 2 hours. Just loved the place

Must see for anyone interested in history and development of the ships.

A jewel of a museum with a gem by the front door!

The museum is a treasure filled with memories and artifacts. So interesting and to have some time to spend with Captain Jim, who put it all together. 2 hours was not enough time so will need to return. Thank you Captain Jim for sharing your passion with us.

A wonderful place to visit. Full of history and artifacts. Captain Jim has done a great job at piecing together the sailing history of the Rockland area, much from his own experiences. A real treasure to visit the museum and meet Captain Jim, take the 1 hour DVD your. We spent 2 hours and need to go back. Best $5 spent in Rockland!With respect to the reviews of people with young children not being too welcome. The museum has many artifacts out on the tables to see, not behind glass. Lots of signs saying please dont touch. Items picked up and touched by uncontrolled kids would ruin an irreplaceable artifact. Easy test, take kids to a china shop for 3 hours, see how it goes.

Do not even try to come to this museum if you have children no matter how well behaved they are. The greeter at the door informs you you are not welcome and are in the wrong place. Best to avoid this place if you have a family.

Jim Sharp runs a first class museum, come down and learn!

INTERESTING place. The best thing is the staff, friendly,helpful and above all knowable.

Very interesting Maritime museum. Recommended.

All about a man and his love for the sea. Privately owned museum, but they do a really good job. Very educational, Captain Sharp is animated and welcoming to his guests. Amazing history and stories from his long career on and off the water. A must see!

Really cool artifacts and a nice video tour to go with everything

Capt. Jim & Meg Sharp have amassed an improbably vast collection of Sea faring memorabilia, equipment and vessels, but even more significant is the collection of experiences, stories and anecdotes wrapped up in Jim Sharps mind! Get him talking - you wont be disappointed. A true treasure!

This was an amazing experience I highly recommend to anyone in the area to go twice

Very informative! Lots to see. The video guide was helpful but the volume was inconsistent making it challenging to hear at times. Interesting artifacts and neat personal stories.

Fascinating collection of sail and steam artifacts. Great concert series.

Me my dad and a friend of his just came here just today. I gotta admit, this guy sure has quite a collection here of old antique equipments. A great place to learn about all the old equipments history!

The Most interesting place! A seaman and boaters graceland !!!! Love it and cap. Jim Sharp is a real gem.

Its a really nice museum to go to! A lot of nice things to see!

Lots of info, Jim was extremely nice, knew his stuff due to him being a former sailor, so really neat to hear from him in the video tour

Wonderful display of area livelihood. Great history preserved for future generations.

Very mice museum, Capt Bill brought everything to life - very informative and entertaining, worth the stop

When I entered with my two children I was told that we are not welcome. He said that we should just go to the children’s museum and that my children were not welcome in their museum.Besides the discrimination against our family, the man was rude and quite mean in his behavior. Shame on them. I hope no one goes there and they close down.

Super informational and tour is at your own pace

Interesting place to take the kids

This museum has a collection of local sea-faring artifacts. The displays are easy to see, but the building lighting is s bit dim.

A Hidden Treasure, view or experience what truly built this community!!Well done, Jim Sharp and all volunteers, Andy Mathieson
