Even though Pennsylvania is a landlocked state, the rolling tides of the ocean have influenced many people who walked through Eastern State’s cellblocks. From those convicted of crimes “on the high seas,” to artists and craftsmen who incorporated aspects of naval life into their work, Eastern State has a surprisingly deep nautical history.

Join Eastern State and Independence Seaport Museum staff members as we unveil the history of sailors, nautical crimes, and ocean-inspired crafts throughout Philadelphia and Eastern State’s history.
