Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park

Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park

The Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers Maritime Park is a Living Classrooms Foundation campus(and headquarters) and national heritage site that celebrates the contributions of African Americans in the development of Baltimore's maritime industry. The site honors and interprets the city's African- American maritime history, while preserving one of the city's oldest existing waterfront industrial buildings.

The campus's Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers Maritime Museum is open to the public and chronicles the saga of Frederick Douglass’ life in Baltimore as an enslaved child and young man. We also take a look at the life of Isaac Myers, a free born African American who became a national leader. As a visitor, you will also learn about the founding of the Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company and the establishment of the African American Community in Baltimore during the 1800’s.
