PortSide NewYork's home is the ship MARY A. WHALEN. She is an oil tanker, so we have activities branded with the word “tanker” in the list below. See our webpage Calendar for scheduled events.
Hours
No TankerTime Thanksgiving day or Friday, the day after.
New TankerTime hours as we transition to colder weather.
TankerTime is 7 days a week, 1pm to 6pm, and usually later when the office staff works late, unless a special alert is posted here. Hours can change if we have an offsite or are painting the ship deck, so check back before visiting!
TankerTime = enjoy the deck and kids education space in the Tankerman’s cabin. More on that at our webpage Tanker Time. Please volunteer to help staff weekend #TankerTime.
