A history museum depicting early Ocean City's history with period room displays and vintage clothing, a large display of old Ocean City photographs and postcards, dolls and toys. Wildlife of the area and other displays of items from the city's past delight the visitors. The Sindia room features a scale model of Ocean City's most famous shipwreck and a lighted 8'x8' stained glass window showing the Sindia under sail. Many photographs, the original figurehead, china and other artifacts from the ship, tell of her journeys and a brief video ( for sale at the museum) remembers her final voyage. The museum's gift shop has many interesting items for all ages.
