Open House New York TankerTours

  • Pier 11, Atlantic Basin Clinton Wharf Brooklyn, NY 11231 USA (map)

Tour and explore PortSide NewYork’s historic ship, the MARY A WHALEN, last of her kind in the USA, as part of the citywide event Open House New York (OHNY). Learn what a bell boat is, hear stories about the crew, and imagine what it was like to work and live aboard the MARY from 1938 until 1994, when she stopped working as an oil tanker. More about her in our virtual museum here.

If you want to volunteer, please email chiclet@portsidenewyork.org. To be a docent, you only have to master one space, not the whole ship. We train.
