TankerTours as part of Open House NY weekend (OHNY). Come visit one of NYC’s special places. Our flagship MARY A. WHALEN was built in 1938 and is the last of her kind in the USA. As a coastal oil tanker, she is a great platform for discussing American fuel consumption. Visitors also learn about her role in a major Supreme Court decision and engine restoration project, fall in love with the galley, the bell boat system, wheelhouse and ship cat Chiclet. A photo exhibit will be present. Since PortSide’s offices are aboard, most tours are by appointment, and OHNY is a rare chances for public tours of the interior.
Sun, 10/22, 11am – 6pm.
