Our shelves feature more than 90 of the Museum’s published titles, as well as new and noteworthy titles, used books, children’s books, rare volumes, pictorial books, magazines, and back issues of WoodenBoat Magazine. Book signing events with maritime authors, historians, and scholars are hosted year-round.
