Independence Seaport Museum’s mission is to increase the awareness, knowledge, and experience of our waterways by highlighting the essential role of the Delaware River through direct contact with our collections, exhibits, and the water.

Our on-water programming, offered to those who might be considered novices all the way to even the most experienced paddler, allows us to connect everyone to the Delaware River where they can understand its historical, economic, and environmental importance.
