The Humboldt Bay Maritime
Museum
was founded in 1977. William
Zerlang, a long time collector of marine
artifacts, and a group of colleagues
sought to establish a local museum to
preserve the rich maritime heritage of
the entire Humboldt Bay region.  Today
the Museum serves members, visitors,
and researchers throughout the nation.

The Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum seeks
to identify, collect, preserve and interpret
artifacts, photographs, library archives and
materials relating principally to the maritime
history of California's North Coast.  We also
strive to promote, educate, and assist the
public in understanding and appreciating
Maritime heritage and local culture.
 
We are committed to promoting, presenting,
and interpreting the North Coast's vibrant
maritime heritage to the local residents and
visitors through stimulating exhibits and
dynamic educational programs.  On an
ongoing basis, the museum will apply its
resources to collect, document, preserve,
store, study and display artifacts, works of art
and archival material, develop interpretive
tours, publications and programs of maritime
interest.
Come in and explore the vast maritime history
of California's north coast.  From shipwrecks to
shipbuilding, the museum holds what was left
behind to share with the future.  We invite
you to learn about the seafaring heritage that
our area is so vastly steeped in.  From the first
ship to enter our bay to the interesting lives of
lighthouse keepers.  
Come learn and experience the history!
