The Tuckerton Seaport's mission is to preserve, present and interpret the rich maritime history, heritage, and environment of the Jersey shore and the unique contributions of its Baymen. On a 40-acre site along Tuckerton Creek, you will discover the sights, sounds, and smells that surrounded the lives of the people who lived and worked on the ocean, bays and back creeks of Coastal New Jersey.
The authentic working Seaport village currently contains 16 re-created historical structures representing the various trades and crafts unique to the Barnegat Bay region and to the Baymen. Along with exhibits of the baymen's tools, decoys, and Barnegat Bay boats, there are demonstrations, instructional classes and hands-on workshops to preserve the traditional baymen's trades and craftsmanship.
