Snug Harbor on Staten Island is a great reminder of New York City's maritime history. Opening in 1833, it was the grand retirement home for sailors from around the world. Now it houses several cultural institutions, including the Noble Maritime Collection.
The museum celebrates Snug Harbor, maritime art, and the history of New York Harbor, including the Robbins Reef Lighthouse and its famous caretaker Kathryn Walker. It also houses and maintains the collections and works of marine artist John A. Noble, featuring the houseboat he used as his art studio.
