Honor Nantucket's Lifesavers
Egan Maritime's Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum is the island's only cultural organization dedicated to celebrating the heroism of the island's brave men and women who risked their lives to rescues others. We are proud to honor them by ensuring that their extraordinary deeds in the selfless service of others will be shared in perpetuity and, inspire future generations with their noble sense of duty.
The Museum operates annually with a deficit. Therefore all gifts made to the Annual Fund will help to offset its expenses and also ensure that the stories of Nantucket's shipwrecks and lifesavers will never be forgotten.

No One Else Does Our Work
No island school, public or private, or other cultural institution does the work of Egan Maritime. We seed the future with mariners. We give students opportunities they’ve never had before to experience the sea and what it is like to live and work on the water.
Since launching the program with Middle School students in 2013, sixteen of Egan Maritime’s Student Mariners have graduated from Nantucket High School and, of those sixteen students, five of them have gone on to Maritime Academies or Institutions to continue their education in the maritime world.
