Experience GulfQuest National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico

GulfQuest/National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico, which opened on September 26, 2015, is a non-profit interactive nautical museum dedicated to the Gulf of Mexico's maritime legacy and culture. The 120,000-square-foot museum on the riverfront in downtown Mobile, Alabama, is meant to seem like a ship sailing into Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The museum has 90 interactive exhibits, simulators, theaters, and artifact displays, as well as antiques and memorabilia displayed across "several decks" inside a full-sized reproduction of a container ship, as if dockside. GulfQuest also has a museum store, a museum café, and a number of event rooms.

GulfQuest National Maritime Museum is a must-see site with simulators, interactive exhibits, displays, and theaters. It is the world's first marine museum dedicated to the Gulf of Mexico's economic, historical, and cultural significance. The container ship SS McLean of GulfQuest exemplifies the concept of "containerization," which was established in the 1950s.

GulfQuest, located downtown on the Mobile River, is one of the country's only interactive marine museums. The exhibits are situated on the decks of a life-sized container ship replica, so there is plenty to see and do, as well as plenty of places to enjoy the view of the Mobile River and port.
