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
Saturday, May 31, 2025, no TankerTime due to weather. Here is the NOAA Marine Weather forecast for the day:
“W winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt, diminishing to 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt this afternoon. Waves 1 to 2 ft. Wave detail: W 1 ft at 2 seconds. Showers likely early this morning, then showers likely with slight chance of tstms late this morning and afternoon.”
TankerTime is 7 days a week, 12pm to 6pm, sometimes earlier and usually later since 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.
