Members are the foundation of SBMM, and we need your support. With new added benefits and our expanding work, we need to increase our membership rates on July 1, 2021. We invite you to act now and lock in your existing membership renewal rate for one more year. In response to Members’ feedback about wanting more learning opportunities, events tied to our mission, and outdoor experiences, we are thrilled to add *new* benefits offering even more membership value. We look forward to welcoming you back to your Maritime Museum when it is safe to do so. While the Museum doors are closed, we invite you to register for a Zoom Webinar, explore SBMM at Home, watch our recorded lectures from 2013-2021, and enjoy behind the scenes content like The Deeper Dive Series.
