A huge thank you to the City of Orange Beach Coastal Resources Department for their incredible craftsmanship and hard work bringing this interactive display to life!

Kids (and adults!) can now step up to our interactive 𝐒𝐞𝐚 𝐃𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭, featuring the original wheel, horn, compass, cleat, and porthole from one of Orange Beach's most iconic historic fishing vessels. It's a fun way to connect with our community's rich maritime heritage while experiencing a piece of local history up close.
