100% cotton t-shirts featuring the museum's logo on the front and geographical coordinates on the sleeve. A burgee is a flag, usually small and swallow-tailed, that is often used today as a symbol of a sailing organization. The history of burgees began in the 19th century when ship owners custom-designed their own personal signal that generally flew from top of the ship's tallest mast. We invite you to proudly display the Maine Maritime Museum burgee wherever you may travel.
