Egan Maritime Institute offers a dynamic calendar of programs and events celebrating Nantucket’s rich maritime heritage through educational, cultural, and hands-on experiences. The 2025 program lineup includes lectures, workshops, film screenings, and on-the-water adventures designed for all ages.
Egan Maritime Institute members enjoy many benefits: unlimited Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum admission, access to historic and educational programs, and unique opportunities to sail aboard the Tall Ship Lynx.
Each May, we honor the incredible community that makes our work possible: our members. Your support preserves and promotes Nantucket’s rich maritime heritage; we couldn’t do it without you.
Egan’s latest exhibit will trace the evolution of Nantucket’s waterfront of economic hardships from the 1860’s to its resurgence in the 1960’s as a thriving elite tourist destination.
