Dear Anne:

There are two museums that come to mind as being intereted in ship models,
both American and European.  First is Mystic Seaport in Mystic Connecticutt
and on the other side of the continent is the Vancouver Maritime Museum.
Both have extensive ship model collections and may be very interested.

The website for the Vancouver Maritime Museum is:
www.vmm.bc.ca

And the website for Mystic Seaport is:
www.mystic.org

I hope this helps!
