Salem Maritime National Historic Site, Site Plan, Environmental Assessment
The National Park Service is considering alternative site development plans for Salem Maritime National Historic Site. The Site Plan will update and implement the current Master Plan, which was approved in 1978. The major planning goals are to revitalize the site, rehabilitate the deteriorating historic wharves, provide adequate maintenance facilities, and integrate the site with the city of Salem and related resources. The vision for the park is to capture the spirit of the maritime era. More attention will be focused on the wharves and harbor, which were the major focus of maritime activity. The buildings north of the wharves, which are the park's most intact historic resources, will be strongly linked to the wharves. Park use and development will create an overall image of maritime history in which visitors can gain a sense of the vibrant energy and excitement that marked the height of the maritime era. Modern uses should be relegated to the edges of the site where they do not intrude on the historic maritime scene. Four alternatives are under consideration.
