More than 99% of all WW II submarine combat war patrol reports are housed here, and files on nearly every submarine the United States has or has had in service as part of the collection.  This is where history comes alive with a wide variety of pictures, paintings, models, artifacts and rare historical documents, some of which have not been made available to the general public.

 

     While you are visiting the museum, and taking in the voluminous amount of exhibits, you can operate a real submarine Type 2 periscope (shown below) to view the beautiful St. Mary's waterfront and beyond.

 

     Please visit us and be sure to visit our gift shop for submarine memorabilia, shirts, books, and other souveniers commerating your visit.

 

     While you move through this website, you will want to read the bios of many who contributed their time and efforts to establish the museum and read the story how one man's personal collection of submarine paraphenalia, documentation, and artifacts came to St. Marys.

 

   WWII Submarine Veteran Tony Faella and his wife Betty from Rhode Island visited the Museum in March 2023. Museum Executive Director Keith Post presented them with a framed print of a new painting created by local Camden County artist Irene Braun honoring the Museum. Tony served aboard the USS SPEARFISH (SS 190) during WWII completing 5 War Patrols in service to our county and turned a young 100 years old in September 2022. THANK YOU TONY AND BETTY for your steadfast support of the Museum!
