Marine Museum of the Great Lakes

Despite its smaller space since moving from the dry dock to the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, this museum still offers a detailed account of Kingston's history as an important shipbuilding center from 1910 to 1960. There are plans to move to a larger, permanent venue but until then admission is free and well worth a walk around.
