Maritime Heritage


Exhibits

Exhibits are a way in which Papahānaumokuākea scientists can help to "bring the place to the people, rather than the people to the place." Because of its remote location, visitors may not have the opportunity to dive on the shipwreck sites in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. NOAA maritime archaeologists help to bring the experience of visiting a site to the public through exhibits. Please stop by and learn more about PMNM's maritime heritage!
