Volunteer!
Come join!
Get out on the water and join a cheerful horde doing boat work!
We can also use
self-directed individuals who wish to work on program development.
Professionals with experience in historical research, grant-writing,
fundraising, event planning, PR and graphic design, and youth programs are
particularly desirable, but we can certainly use gal/guy Friday type help!
We could use IT support too!
Folks of all ages and skill and fitness
levels can help. We have something for everyone.
When n
Where:
Restoration work on the Mary Whalen usually occurs Sundays, 12-6pm.
We request that you chip in at least two hours during a weekend volunteer
day
Enter American Stevedoring/Red Hook Marine Terminal gate at Hamilton Avenue,
Summit Street and Van Brunt Street.
Bring your own work gloves if you have them; you will get a better fit that
way.
Due to port security regulations,
we need your name in
advance and you need to show a photo ID at the containerport gate. Please
please RSVP to
portsidenewyork[at]gmail.com.
Preservation scanning
project needs help:
When we got the Whalen, we thought she was coming with no history;
but we found some logbooks hidden under the drawers under the captain's
bunk. However, leaks from the wheelhouse above had piddled into the
captain's cabin below, damaging these books. We'd like to scan all the
pages to preserve the information. We seek a volunteer to scan all the
pages
