Enjoy World Maritime Day Activities at Nauticus on September 25

Celebrate World Maritime Day with Nauticus on September 25, 2021, as we highlight the maritime industry and its significance to the economy, the importance of the shipping industry and the protection of our marine environment. Guests can take part in interactive STEM to STERN float your boat and hauling cargo activities and operate an underwater robot in a mock harbor inspection. Throughout the day, learn about how ships get replenished out at sea, modern piracy, and the Hampton Roads shipping industry.
