Maritime Collection

Fall River’s seafaring history is documented in our maritime collection, with a strong emphasis on the steamships of the famous Fall River Line.

Included in the collection are important paintings by Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (1850-1921) and Fred Pansing (1844-1912), among other works, and objects pertaining to various aspects of the city’s nautical history and its natural, deepwater port.
