Very cool. We visited the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort a few weeks ago. I don't know that I'd make a trip just for that, but if you're in the area (Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City) it's definitely worth stopping in. The museum also maintains a workshop for building small craft which is cool to watch, and the whole thing is free (donations accepted). Disclosure: I'm a native of the area, but I've been away long enough to attain 'dingbatter' status.
