My review on TripAdvisor:
The Uff Da Maritime Museum at Viking Village historical site.
The museum signage on the site.
I came across this interesting little museum on a recent trip to Viking Village for their Christmas Craft Show in December 2023. The museum explores the history of the fishing industry not just in Barnegat Light and Long Beach Island but the State of New Jersey.
The small gallery describes the fisherman who were once part of the trade, the years and development of the fishing industry in Barnegat Light, NJ and pictures of the boats and ships that made up the fishing industries creation and expansion over the years.
The inside of the small gallery is packed with information on the fishing industry of Long Beach Island.

What I like about this museum is that it gives you a localized view of fishing industry and its history at the Jersey Shore.

It’s a small gallery packed with information and many interesting pictures. It is nice to visit when Viking Village is open for business.
A wonderful tour of Viking Village with the NJ Secretary of Agriculture.
