Our annual permit for 2025 was ony finalized by our landlord, the NYC EDC, on June 24; so we are running late planning summer programs. Please check back for updates. Also, to help this situation, please go to our webpage PortSideneedsahome and write the elected officials there as instructed. The ship deck is open most days of the week; for any changes, please visit webpage TankerTime. Until we get building space, the interior of the ship has our offices and program space, so we open it to the public only a few times a year. You can schedule a group tour using our webpage Contact.
