Waterfront Museum

Brooklyn's Waterfront Museum is a maritime museum in the city dedicated to preserving the city's maritime history and waterfront traditions. Housed on the 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge #79, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Waterfront Museum is one of our favorite hidden gem museums in NYC. Admission and tours are free. Here are some of the "must see" items at Waterfront Museum . Lehigh Valley No. 59 - Alice Scanlon Rowing adventure excerpt from the 1842 diary of Charles H.
