This is an interesting place. There is a nice exhibit on the Transatlantic Slave Trade upstairs in the back. My suggestion is to move it to a more visible spot and inform visitors about it.

Beautiful collections of maritime history. Reminds me of the Nantucket Shipwreck and Lifesaving Museum that my grandfather founded. I highly recommend you check it out while in Georgetown, SC.

The museum is interesting and the staff are very friendly. There are models, artifacts, and exhibits on the first floor. The second floor is inaccessible to wheelchair users due to the out of order elevator. Thus the lower stars.
