Until far into the 20th century, Litochoro was home to many shipowners and sailors. When the steamships displaced the sail ships, this era ended. In 1995 the members of the Association of the Retired Sailors of Litochoro were given the idea of documenting the legacy of maritime navigation and saving and preserving the cultural, maritime heritage of the place.
Between 1995 and 2002 maritime relics were collected within the (formerly) maritime families of the village. From 2002 to 2004 the exhibition pieces were gathered and brought together.
The "Maritime Museum of Litochoro", founded in 2004, is registered in the Greek Ministry of Culture as an "institution of cultural maritime heritage". Since its inception, the scope of the shown exhibits has been constantly expanded.
The exhibits are either collected from the households of the former seafarers or were donated by shipowners or the navy. In front of the building are anchors, buoys, ships propellers and a torpedo. Although the museum is dedicated to merchant shipping, the tour begins with a model of a torpedo boat, which, in 1912, sank a Turkish warship in front of the port of Thessaloniki. Old pictures, some almost 100 years old, show proud families in the shipyard who supervise the construction of their ship. Other pictures show sailors on board or in port. In several showcases are impressive ship models. Many of these are original replicas of ships that were once home here. Others represent a cross-section of traditional Greek ships over the centuries.
This is followed by nautical devices such as compasses, chronometers and sextants.ed with new elements of Naval heritage from Litohoro and the Merchant Marine.
