Discover lost pieces of local history in Treasures From the Deep. This exhibit features artifacts recovered from Marblehead and Salem Harbors over 50 years, by local diver and maritime historian Ray Bates.  The exhibit includes pieces from ten shipwrecks, as well as crocks, pipes, bottles, peacocks, and a cannon ball or two.  This collection is on public display for the first time.

Visitors can also watch Ray Bates describe the shipwrecks in a series of videos throughout the gallery. Watch the videos on YouTube HERE.
