The Boston Marine Museum (1909-1947) in Boston, Massachusetts, specialized in maritime history. Its collections were displayed in the Old State House in rooms borrowed from the Bostonian Society.[1][2] Among the objects in the museum were figureheads; model ships; "whaling implements, ... prints and pictures;"[3] manuscripts;[nb 1]publications;[nb 2] and "curios and relics of the seafaring life of New England."[7] Leaders of the museum included John Templeman Coolidge,[8] Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow Jr.,[7] and Robert B. Smith.[9] In 1947 the museum merged into the Bostonian Society.[10]
