As part of the Nautical Nights experience, all campers receive a free pass to the Marine Museum at Fall River, located just two blocks from Battleship Cove.

Filled with intricate models of warships and vessels of the Fall River steamship line, the Marine Museum at Fall River is known nationwide for its renowned Titanic exhibit. One of the world's largest exhibits dedicated to that subject, this collection includes:

  • A 28-foot model of HMS Titanic
  • A cork life vest worn by survivor Madeleine Astor, new bride of John Jacob Astor IV, who was lost
  • Wooden chair from the Titanic's Turkish Bath, retrieved from the ocean by a ship chartered by White Star Line to retrieve bodies.
  • A section of the Titanic's wooden deck railing
  • Hand-penned letter written by third-class survivor Gus Cohen aboard the Carpathia, describing the events of the sinking
  • Carpeting that was used in a Titanic stateroom
  • The "Molly Brown" medal that was presented to the ship's surgeon of the Carpathia
  • Jewelry and personal effects belonging to survivors while on board the Titanic
  • Videos and photographs from the Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institution discovery expedition
