Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History

Exploring a port city, especially one with a great deal of shipping or naval history, one may see signs and tourist ads for the local maritime museum. A maritime museum is a museum dedicated to ships and sea travel in general, and nearly every port city has one. Despite their specific topic, maritime museums tend to feature much variety in their focus. As one moves through the displays, the focus shifts from local shipping and fishing companies to Naval history. The general theme of these museums becomes, without question, an appreciation for those who put themselves at great personal risk for those of us on dry land.
