Motor Trip to the Museum
The Highlands Historical Society is planning a motor trip to the NJ Maritime Museum on Sept. 8 and reservations are being taken now for the day long trip to Ocean County.
Regarded as New Jersey’s premier Maritime Museum, the elegant several storied building has the finest collection of china and other artifacts from the Titanic, brought up by some of Highlands own divers.
With a collection of artifacts from a number of New Jersey sea wreck sites as well as numerous other maritime memorabilia. Started by Deb Whitcraft and Bob Yates, the collection started when Whitcraft started collecting information and items pertaining to the state’s maritime history. She opened the doors to the public in 2007, built with private funds.
Located on Long Beach Island, the Museum is a registered non-profit entity and deed restricted to remain that forever. It operates entirely on donations and is staffed by volunteers.
The Highlands trip on Friday, Sept 8 is $45 per person, including both entry and transportation.
