Maritime Restoration

Welcome.

We Create Living History.

By restoring vessels, marine artifacts and related constructions to their past glory – or preserving them in their present state – we help museums, civic organizations, governments, and individuals build a link with history.

Maritime Restoration makes objects work again and creates an authentic environment for their use or display. We specialize in works that will educate audiences about the concept behind the objects and their design, and about the engineering techniques that made the ideas real.

We began as a group of friends working on building preservation and restoration nearly 25 years ago. Today, Maritime Restoration is a project team of skilled professionals, including historians, preservationists, engineers, marine electricians and welders and environmental experts.
