The Museum opened part time in Sept. 2005. New exhibits were continually being installed and in Sept. 2006, the Museum began opening seven days a week, offering a monthly evening lecture series, off-site lectures and mini-exhibits, in adition to 3,000 square feet of exhibits in the Musuem itself.

It is one of the most comprehensive collections of rare books relative to the story of undersea exploration and was amassed by the Bauers over a span of four decades.
