TankerTours as part of Open House New York 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.

This year a replica the sloop RESTAURATION, the ship that brought the first Norwegian immigrants to America, will docked alongside the MARY WHALEN, having retraced the perilous voyage of 200 years ago. Inside the MARY will be an exhibit about Norwegian Red Hook and her Norwegian crew.

As a coastal oil tanker, the MARY WHALEN 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. Since PortSide’s offices are aboard, most tours are by appointment, and OHNY is a rare chances for public tours of the interior.

Saturday, 10/18, 1pm – 6pm.
