About the Object:
In 2001, the Annapolis Maritime Museum leased the property from the City of Annapolis for fifty years, and subleased seafood retail and takeout business opportunities to the owner of Davis' Pub.
Hurricane Isabel damaged the McNasby building in 2003 with an eight foot tidal surge. While raising funds for reconstruction, the museum's offices and exhibitions were located at 222 Severn Avenue. Renovations were completed in 2008 and the museum opened with the "Oysters on the Half Shell" exhibit.
AMM's current permanent exhibit "Our Changing Waterfront" was completed in 2020 and opened in 2021 due to the evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
