Ships in the Dark

Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance—and he’s not just any Santa; he’s one of the tattoo collectors featured in our Sea of Ink exhibit. This after-hours event is a unique opportunity to explore not only the exhibit but the entire museum under the enchanting glow of nighttime!

Here’s what’s in store:

• Photos with Santa: Capture a special holiday moment and use your photo to create a keepsake ornament at our craft station.
• Drinks and snacks at the bar.
• Exclusive shopping: Find one-of-a-kind gifts at our Sea of Ink and Christmas merchandise table.

Tickets are just $10 per person and can be purchased at the door or in advance at our website: shipsofthesea.org/sea-of-ink.

Join us for this festive evening filled with holiday cheer and maritime magic. We can’t wait to see you there!
