About us

The Sail, Power, and Steam Museum (SPSM) is a maritime heritage museum, located on the shores of Rockland's working waterfront on the site of the old Snow Shipyard. Rockland's Harbor trail begins next door in Snow Marine Park and winds through the museum property, allowing waterfront access to visitors.

Our campus includes several buildings, including a multi-level museum, a working boat shop, a professional office building, and a small marina.

We seek to provide an interactive visitor experience. Our waterfront property houses a small marina with 25 moorings, and our sailing center hosts sailing and boating lessons for all ages, including SKFF (Sail Kids For Free) our FREE youth sailing program and adult sailing lessons.

Our VISION: Maine's maritime heritage helped shape our nation, and it will continue to influence and inspire our future.
