The 1907 Tugboat Pegasus and the Museum’s Lehigh Valley Barge #79 are teaming up to take a Tug & Barge Tour of the Hudson River, retracing Henry Hudson’s voyage and updating his vision to showcase the great potential of the water highway for public access and enjoyment, education, transport and commerce today.
From August 26 to September 1 the tour will dock at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 and then then travel to the upper Hudson to offer our programs to other waterfronts of New York State.
The Waterfront Museum teams up with the Tugboat Pegasus on many occasions to offer free programs that offer insight to our working harbor. The Waterfront Museum is delighted this season to bring their maritime education programs to Brooklyn Bridge park! Tug and Museum with also return to the Hudson (North River) where we will welcome both tourists and residents aboard our historic vessels.
Visit the barge during Open Hours for Free Boat Tours on Thursdays 4–8pm and Saturdays 1–5pm or by appointment for groups to see the exhibition on the walls: Tugboats & Waterfront Scenes—Encaustic Paintings by Rich Samuelson.
