The Florida Maritime Museum is a museum, sponsored by Manatee County Clerk of Circuit Courts, located on almost 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land known as the Cortez Nature Preserve within the historic fishing village of Cortez, Florida.[1][2] It is open Tuesday-Friday and every second and fourth Saturday of the month from 10am-4pm.
The museum tells a number of stories pertaining to all aspects of Florida's maritime history. Exhibits include historic photographs, boat models, tools, instruments, and other historic artifacts. The museum also features a large collection of shells from the Gulf of Mexico and a research library with a variety of books, plans, logs, diaries, periodicals, letters, records and related archival material whose content is relevant to research concerning maritime subjects, with special emphases on Florida's Gulf Coast.[3] The museum is also home to The Folk School, which teaches traditional Florida maritime skills and folk art.
The museum is housed in a 1912 schoolhouse building at 4415 119th Street West.[4][5][6] Other historic structures located on the site include the 1890 Burton/Bratton Store, a wooden cistern, and the 1907 Pillsbury Boatshop.
