Plan a Visit to the Rock Hall Waterman's Museum

The concept for the Waterman's Museum began in 1990 when a joint committee of Rock Hall community members and Haven Harbour Marina employees determined that area watermen were in need of their own unique center for recorded history. Today, the museum includes exhibits on oystering, crabbing and fishing. A reproduction of a shanty house is also on display, along with historical photographs, local carvings and of course, boats.

A Proud Partnership

A two-semester-long partnership between the Waterman's Museum and Washington College's Digital Scholarship in Museum Partnerships project took place throughout the 2021-2022 academic years, involving the work and coordination of several professors, dozens of undergraduate students and a few of Rock Hall's finest watermen.
Students visited the museum on several occasions, touring the exhibition space, viewing and learning about objects, interviewing watermen and photographing collection pieces to replicate and render in 3D. College staff assisted, shooting a virtual tour to showcase not only the museum itself, but the work of their students' research and cultural findings. We are honored to present their scholarship, in form of virtual tour and four digital banner panels, below.
