  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
