The museum is located in the building known in the interwar period under the name of "The Queen's Nest" or "Royal Pavilion". The building stands on the former entry dam and was designed and carried out by the engineers of the Constanţa harbour under the guidance of Anghel Saligny, between 1909 and 1910. Initially designed as a wooden construction resembling a ship overstructure, it was rebuilt of brick and reinforced concrete between 1927 and 1928. In 1965, the east side of the building was pulled down in order to make room for the construction of the dam. The building design was last interfered with between 1983 and 1985. The museum presents the harbour traditions a...nd activities from the time of the ancient Tomis to this day.
