Inside the full-scale wooden vessel in Williamstown, Kentucky, walkways spiral upward through three decks of exhibits built to feel like a single continuous hull.

It’s easy to lose direction in the dim light and narrow corridors—especially near the stair bottlenecks between decks—so the map becomes a quiet companion for pacing your visit, finding restrooms, or timing your route to the café break or theater show. A good reminder: it’s bigger than you think.
