Volunteer Meetup
Interested in history? Like meeting new people? Have some time to volunteer? This is your perfect opportunity. The museum is looking for volunteers to serve as tour guides and guest service representatives. Scheduling is flexible and no extensive knowledge of Civil War naval history is necessary. Training will be provided. Attend a meet-up and see if this is a good fit for you.
When: first Monday of the month @ 1:00pm (November meeting will be at 2pm)​

Labor and Leisure at Sea
Daily life was busy for Civil War sailors in both the United States and Confederate navies. Every day, sailors worked long hours with little rest. Just like people today, when Civil War sailors were not working or training, they were often trying to claim leisure time while also staving off boredom.
