The Maritime Museum is located in Greenport at the foot of 3rd Street, in the former railroad station, adjacent to the Shelter Island North Ferry Dock.

Inside, the museum boasts an array of exhibits on the maritime heritage of the area, including displays on the Greenport menhaden fishing industry, the oyster industry, lighthouse lenses, a model ship of the USS Ohio, and more.

		A popular exhibit at the museum are the Fresnel lenses. The Second Order Fresnel lens is shown here. Second Order lenses, especially in this condition, are uncommon.
