Museum Gift Shop
For unique maritime and ocean-themed gifts, visit the museum’s gift shop. Although petite-sized, the gift shop is packed with a wide range of gifts, including glass whale trinkets, dolphin socks, whale ties, seashell cocktail stirrers, shark tooth jewelry, scrimshaw harmonicas, and kits to build pirate ships.
Kid-friendly items are reasonably priced (below $10), such as a boatswain’s whistle for $5.00, used to call commands to the crew during bad weather (and used in The Sound of Music), small ship-in-a-bottles, models, and historical toys such as Jacob's Ladder. Special effort is made to offer objects that are both appealing and affordable for younger visitors as well as more elaborate gifts for adults. The shop carries a line of Barlow™ simulated scrimshaw pieces which make attractive gifts for any occasion.
During the holiday season, check out our display of handmade boat ornaments.
Members save 10%. Best of all, your purchase supports an organization dedicated to Long Island history and whale conservation.
