Historic fort and maritime museum |
6 Pennyfield Avenue State University of New York Maritime College Campus New York, NY 10465 +1 718 409 7218 http://www.maritimeindustrymuseum.org |
This fort was built in 1833 to protect the western end of Long Island Sound. It once housed a garrison of over 1,200 men. It is now the site of the Maritime Industry Museum and is part of SUNY Maritime College. There are such exhibits as The Evolution of Seafaring, which explores seamanship from ancient Phoenicia to the present day. Other exhibits explore naval history and clipper ships. A museum gift shop and library is on site. There is no admission fee, but a donation is encouraged. Review © 2009, Wcities |
