About Ashtabula Maritime & Surface Transportation Museum

Ashtabula Maritime & Surface Transportation Museum displays artifacts from the region's shipping heritage, including a Fourth Order Fresnel lens from the Ashtabula Lighthouse that guided Lake Erie ships, an engine order telegraph that relayed commands between a ship's bridge and engine room, and a copper and brass diving helmet used for deep-sea exploration. Visitors examine these exhibits during afternoon hours at the waterfront location in Ashtabula. The museum charges admission at published rates for adults, seniors, and children ages six through sixteen. Children under six enter free. The attraction suits anyone interested in maritime history and the equipment that powered Great Lakes commerce. More information and current admission prices are available at ashtabulamaritime.org.
