The museum hosts exhibits on shipwrecks, sailing technology, and exploration. In 2025, the museum opened its new riverfront expansion, featuring a larger interactive gallery for children and a panoramic observation deck overlooking the Maumee. The retired lake freighter and current museum ship, the Col. James M. Schoonmaker, is docked directly next to the museum. Tours are offered outside winter months. Unusually for a modern era freighter, the lounges and cabin are fancy.
The National Museum of the Great Lakes is a museum in the Toledo Maritime Center, a heritage location on the banks of the Maumee River on the east side of Toledo, Ohio. Operated by the Great Lakes Historical Society, it celebrates the natural and built heritage of the North American Great Lakes from a U.S. perspective. The museum is most noted as the docking location of a museum Lake freighter, the SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker.
