What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          Maritime Museum Louisiana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is organized for educational purposes. It is the only Maritime Museum in the State of Louisiana and strive to educate the public about the maritime heritage and culture of Louisiana, as well inform the public about current trends in the maritime industry. We accomplish this through interactive exhibits, displays of acquired artifacts, films, dioramas and photos.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          There are two primary goals of this project - 1) expose the public to the "invisible industry" that is Louisiana's maritime industry. This will be accomplished by completing the final
building of the museum campus, installing exhibits highlighting such things as Louisiana's shrimping industry, workboats supporting the energy industry, the river pilots and their important work. 2) We intend to develop programs in cooperation with schools such as Northshore Technical Community College, Southeastern Louisiana University (current partners) in support of Louisiana's workforce development effort, specifically to help feed the maritime industry's need for qualified technical specialists, such as marine carpenters, electricians & engine technicians.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           Total project length is 2-3 years. Initial work will be accomplished within 12 months.
