Conserva los materiales arqueológicos relacionados con el tráfico marítimo en el Mediterráneo, desde la época fenicia, a través del mundo púnico, helenístico y romano.
En sus salas se exhiben series anfóricas, utilizadas en el transporte de materiales líquidos, de fabricación campaniense y de tipo netamente romano. Materiales metalúrgicos, suntuarios como marfil, vidrio, etc. Epigrafía relacionada con el transporte, y completando la información científica y didáctica, gráficos.
El ánfora es el envase por excelencia durante esta época, y se ha convertido en el fósil director de la investigación arqueológica subacuática, pues sus restos inundan las costas del Mediterráneo.
Destacan especialmente los restos de los dos barcos fenicios del s.VII ad.C. encontrados en Mazarrón, así como gran parte de su cargamento.On November 26, 2008, the new headquarters of the museum was inaugurated, designed by the renowned architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, at the Alfonso XII dock in the city of Cartagena, after a long construction period filled with technical and financial difficulties.
The museum preserves archaeological materials related to maritime trade in the Mediterranean, from the Phoenician era through the Punic, Hellenistic, and Roman periods.
Its exhibition halls display collections of amphorae, used for transporting liquid materials, including Campanian and distinctly Roman types. Other exhibited materials include metallurgical objects, luxurious items such as ivory and glass, as well as inscriptions related to transportation. To complement the scientific and educational information, various charts are also displayed.
The amphora is considered the primary container of this period and has become a key reference in underwater archaeological research, as its remains are widespread along the Mediterranean coast.
Particularly notable are the remains of the two 7th-century BCE Phoenician ships found in Mazarrón, along with a significant portion of their cargo.Uploaded from Flikr, via https://commons.wikimedia.org/key/File:Mazarron_I.jpg. Original uploader on Wikimedia Commons is FunkMonk.
