The H. Lee White Marine Museum is small, but very interesting for anyone who loves or wants to learn more about maritime history.
There are about 10 rooms to visit which relate the history of maritime from the 1770s to the present day, each with a different theme.
Plenty of historical facts are displayed on the walls along with photographs and sketches; there is a lot of reading, but it was very interesting.
There are also all kinds of maritime artifacts and equipment as well as several models of ships from the 1700s to the present day.
From the early days of steamboats, to commercial fishing, and the Normandy landings in 1944, there are many fascinating facts to learn more about.
This is the Oswego Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since the start of the millennium.
We can see it very well from the museum and we can even get there by boat to visit it.
Interestingly, the light from the lighthouse is powered by solar energy.
There is also a US Army Nash LT-5 tugboat right outside the museum.
This national historic monument was built in the 1940s and is one of 13 which took part in the Normandy landings of June 6, 1944.
We can of course visit it and learn more about its history, unfortunately it was closed during my visit.
I do not like war, if I could decide I would abolish it globally, but I like to visit military boats.
The number of people living in such small spaces and the number of machinery there is insane.
