Connecting New Yorkers to the benefits of our harbor. A living lab for better urban waterways.
To access our ship deck for daily TankerTime send us a message via our Contact webpage; because, on 7/25, the EDC locked the Pier 11 gate due to security issues up the pier. By the end of September, they will install another gate on the pier separating our public access part from the industrial maritime part. At that point, daily, unfettered, walk-up access to TankerTime on the Mary Whalen will resume. Until then, during special events below that are on the Mary Whalen or the Clearwater, we will have the gate open and monitored for easy access to the ship.
Second Sundays TankerTime, 5pm to midnight, May through September. FREE. Enjoy the main deck of PortSide's historic ship, the tanker MARY A. WHALEN. Bring dinner, drinks, a book...
