The Independence Seaport Museum, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, centers on maritime history and the river ecosystem to educate and engage visitors. It houses River Alive!, an interactive exhibit about the wildlife, science, and wonder of the Delaware River, and provides access to historically significant vessels such as the Cruiser OLYMPIA, the oldest floating warship, and the World War II-era Submarine BECUNA, alongside a substantial collection of maritime art and artifacts. In warmer months, the museum offers waterfront activities, including paddling in its boat basin and kayak excursions, expanding experiential learning beyond indoor galleries.

Annually, the museum welcomes a broad audience and draws roughly 110,000 visitors, situating itself as a family-friendly anchor of Philadelphia's waterfront renaissance. It has pursued partnerships with other organizations, most notably a 2022 collaboration with Airbnb to offer unique experiences. The institution was founded in 1960 as the Philadelphia Maritime Museum and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, signaling recognized standards in museum practices.
