Historically Important North River Vessels

Initiated early in 2012 with the support of New York City's Historic Districts Council, the Historic Ships Coalition brings together under one umbrella owners and operators of historic vessels, maritime museums, and organizations that advocate for preservation of New York's historic ships.

The Historic Ships Coalition celebrates and supports historic and distinguished vessels in New York City’s Harbor.  We seek better and more numerous berths and enhanced resources to engage the public in our maritime heritage.
