It’s a great place to go but they need to have more things and stuff from Port of Hampton roads pictures from Newport News, like the cranes they used to have in Newport News. And Norfolk and Portsmouth still have cranes. They have can small toy like cranes and strads and res reastakers and are more pictures of those things. And the hustlers trucks and side loaders they have different equipment down there it should be on display. My husband and I are both Longshoremen so my kids and grandkids can see the different machinery that is there. And just have a section for the Port Of Hampton Road.

My bad for not taking interior photos. Plan a day here or at least several hours. There is a lot to see. Especially the new wing that was build since the last time I was there that houses artifacts from the ironside ship The Monitor. Another part of the addition has baths that are treating the turret and the engine and other parts to preserve them. The process takes years. That section alone could take several hours. Then there is a lot more dealing with the age of sail in the 1800s and dealing with all aspects of sailing ships before and after. They even have the Oracle catamaran that won back the America's Cup.

A wealth of naval information for just $1 admission. A large ship model gallery. Several models are of ships built at the Newport News shipyard. An interesting exhibit of the 2013 America’s Cup win. Also an exhibit of the ironclad Monitor. There are also 3D movies showing every hour. There is plenty to see along with a cafe if you get hungry.

Wow, this museum was a fantastic way to spend the day. In fact, you need more than one day to really explore everything this museum has to offer. I spent 2.5 hours in the USS Monitor exhibit alone and that's only about half of what they have to offer. You can see the actual gun turret from the USS Monitor and recovered artifacts as well as hear the history behind the famous "Monitor vs. Merrimack" Battle from the Civil War. The rest of the museum includes a ship model display, international yacht/boat display, America's Cup exhibit, a US Navy history exhibit, Maritime exploration, and Admiral Nelson exhibits just to name a few. Even the bathrooms had some humorous factoids on the wall about using the restroom at sea. Right now, admission is only $1 so you have no excuse not to visit. When you're done you can explore the grounds of the park or walk the jogging path around the lake.
