Tour of the Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum provides an insight into the region's exciting seafaring history, and is located in Hasseldalen – an area with long shipbuilding traditions. Join us on a journey through the sailing ship era! Back to a time when ships were built in wood, powered by the wind in their sails, and used for trade on the seven seas. You get to meet the rookie sailor, the shipowner, the prison-ship detainee and the captain's wife as you explore the days when Cuba’s Havana was known as the "sugar port" and sailors were served dried cod and gruel.

Minimum group size is 10 people, and the experience can be booked via Grimstad Tourist Office.
