Join the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum for your chance to make your own version of a sailor’s valentine.

Many sailors’ valentines were purchased in the Caribbean, where sailors commonly sought supplies and ship repairs. After spending months at sea, they bought these souvenirs to bring to their loved ones at home.
