Hudson River Maritime Museum

Hudson River Maritime Museum HRMM is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the maritime history of the Hudson River A library is available for use by researchers.

The present property was purchased in 1982, and the Museum's 385 feet of bulkhead on Rondout Creek was partly rebuilt in 1992. The Museum's permanent collection related to Hudson River transportation, industry, and commerce, has grown through generous donations. The collection is comprised of paintings, prints, photographs and ephemera, vessel blueprints, artifacts (such as ice-harvesting tools

and important pieces of Hudson River vessels that have long since disappeared), and a variety of ship models. Our collection of small craft includes a 100 year old shad boat, a life boat from the steamboat Mary Powell, a lighthouse tender, and several ice yachts. During the warmer months, visiting vessels such as the sloop Clearwater, historic vessels, and classic wooden boats may be seen at the Museum's bulkhead. In winter, U.S. Coast Guard vessels regularly tie up at our dock to provide a bit of shore-leave fro their crews. School programs, unique within New York State, host over 2,000 school children a year. Exhibitions, a lecture series, children's workshops, waterfront programs and festivals, and boat rides to the Rondout Lighthouse create a greater awareness of the heritage of the Hudson River and attracts over 20,000 visitors annually. The Hudson River Maritime Museum preserves and interprets the maritime history of the Hudson River, its tributaries, and related industries.

SAVE THE DATE: It's not too early to start planning your family's Earth Day activities. On April 22, our Wooden Boat School will be offering the workshops to build your own bat house. Earth Day is all about giving back to the planet and spreading awareness about how much our own individual impact really does matter when it comes to environmental conservation. Bats are such a vital part of the Hudson Valley ecosystem, playing an essential role in pest control, pollinating plants and dispersing seeds.

On July 3, 1880, the steamboat ALBANY made her first regular trip from New York up-stream to her namesake city. 69 years later Thomas A. Larremore recounts the steamboats sudden retirement in HRMM's latest History blog.

“The Potomac River Line announced today its 69-year-old excursion steamer, The POTOMAC, is headed for the scrap heap…Another oldster is gone, suddenly and unexpectedly. This time it is MARY POWELL's side-kicking ex-side-kick of happy years ago on the Hudson River, the ex-Day Liner ALBANY, since 1934 running excursions out of Washington, D.C., for the Potomac River Line, as POTOMAC.”

We are throwing back to an early shot of the museum. The Hudson River Maritime Museum was founded in 1979 and was originally located in a storefront on the corner of Spring Street and Broadway. The museum moved down to the former Miron Lumber Company offices on what was then East Strand Street along the Rondout Creek in 1983.

The latest from HRMM's History Blog:

On the 29th of May, 1924 Captain William O. Benson recounts the maiden voyage of the Hudson River Day Line steamer ALEXANDER HAMILTON from New York City to the State Capital at Albany.

"I was a student in the old District No. 13 School at Port Ewen, and we had been told the HAMILTON was making her first trip up river. I was wishing she would be late, so I could rush out at 3:30 p.m. and run to the sand bank at Sleightsburgh and watch her come up. I will admit all day in school my mind was on the new HAMILTON and sure enough when school was dismissed I guess I was the first out and on my way to the sand bank..."

Goodbye Forever to the ‘Osceola’ by Captain William O. Benson

Most boatmen are notoriously sentimental. A fine example of their feelings for an old veteran of the river was the last trip of the Cornell tugboat “Osceola."

The "Osceola" finished her travels and work on the Hudson River on a Sunday afternoon during the latter part of October 1929. At the time I happened to be down along the shore at Sleightsburgh.

On that Sunday afternoon of mid-autumn, the "Osceola" came down river with a large tow, the tugboat "George W. Pratt” helping her. When opposite the Rondout Lighthouse, the big tug "Edwin H. Mead” of the Cornell Steamboat Company came up river, running light, and took over the tow from the “Osceola." As soon as the towing cables were shifted to the "Mead, the “Mead” blew three very long whistles of farewell. The “Osceola" then turned and headed for Rondout Creek, answering the "Mead’s" salute with her own whistle.

TELL ME NOT IN MOURNFUL NUMBERS by Tracey I. Brooks, December 1946

Night Boat …. Night Boat …. Night Boat …. That once familiar cry of dozens of youngsters who would rush to the banks of the Hudson at the first blasts of the Night Boat's whistle as she blew to the drawbridge at Albany, and a cry so familiar to many of us who have spent most of our lives along its banks has drifted away into oblivion, but the memory lingers on. For that one proud fleet of night line steamers, some of them quite appropriately called "floating palaces" is likewise but a memory. Yet it was but a few short years ago that hundreds of folk, both old and young would stroll down to the docks, sit on the benches in Riverside Park or line the rail of the bridge waiting for the boats to leave, and would watch as the brilliantly lighted steam boats would gracefully glide through the open span, play their powerful searchlights along the shore as many a young maiden, with her beau, would pretend to shy at the strong rays, and would continue to watch as the river queen faded away in the distance "round the bend."

General information

The Exhibit Hall Combining photographs, artifacts, and text, the annual exhibit transports Museum visitors back into the history of the Hudson River. Each year the Museum chooses a different topic in the history of the Hudson River on which to focus. From sunken ships and abandoned boats, to brick yards, ice harvesting, steamboats or recreation, there is always an interesting and unique exhibit on display. The East Gallery Formerly a working boat shop, the space is perfect for display of many larger artifacts, such as ice yachts, shad boats and other small boats, a steam hoisting engine, and various boat models and exhibits. With a rich and varied maritime heritage, the Hudson River was home to diverse vessels, and in the East Gallery we have the opportunity to display a few more of them.

Thanks to the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston for hosting our Annual Watershed Conference session last week, focused on the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network! The Hudson River Maritime Museum has a new exhibit on the science and history of climate change, and how it has affected and will continue to affect the Hudson River Valley. It includes materials inside the museum, as well as just-installed exterior exhibits.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located right on the tidal Rondout Creek, and is itself vulnerable to flooding and sea level rise. The barn was designed for resilience, with elevated electric outlets and concrete flooring. It was a perfect venue to talk about climate change and flood risk.

You can visit the museum Wednesday through Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm, or check out the exterior exhibit features any time.
Explore the Hudson River after dark by searchlight aboard the 100% solar-powered boat built by the Hudson River Maritime Museum. During the lantern cruise, listen to legends and lore of the Hudson River from the pages of Washington Irving or straight from newspaper headlines of centuries past, including the tale of the serpent of the Hudson River, the terrible crime of William Salisbury, and Rondout's barge graveyard. The last lantern cruise is Monday, Oct. 31.

In August, the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network met at Basilica Hudson in the City of Hudson. The Hudson River Flood Resilience Network convenes municipal leaders from riverfront communities to work together on current and future flood risks. The Network is supported by the Hudson River Estuary Program with municipal partners, Hudson River Watershed Alliance, NY Sea Grant, Consensus Building Institute, and Scenic Hudson.

At our meeting in Hudson, we discussed flooding issues and needs, opportunities for Climate Smart Communities technical assistance, and took a walking tour of the City of Hudson's waterfront. The tour included Waterfront Wednesdays, a weekly community celebration right on the Hudson River, along with plans for managing future flooding and sea level rise.

We also kicked off a strategic roadmap process for the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network, which will identify current opportunities and needs to set the direction for the next stage of our work. This process is facilitated by River Network, a nationwide capacity-building organization with focus on
climate resilient communities and strong organizations and leaders.

Want to learn more about the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network, and share your input on the strategic roadmap? Come to the Hudson River Watershed Alliance's Annual Watershed Conference: Climate Change Impacts on Water in the Hudson Valley. Our session on Wednesday, October 26 at the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston will focus on the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network.

Registration and more information here: https://hudsonwatershed.org/annual-watershed-conference-2022/

Hannah Mico from River Network will present a sample Strategic Roadmap for feedback from the Network, based on information gathered to date. Participants can expect a highly engaging session with small breakouts, interactive session materials, and active decision-making. The session will also include a tour of the City of Kingston's wastewater treatment plant and flood adaptation actions taken there.

While this session is focused on the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network, it is open for anyone to attend to learn about their work and process that can inspire other networks.
The Annual Watershed Conference is made possible thanks to our generous sponsors. Sponsors fund conference proceedings and support individuals and groups in need of financial assistance. Each year, the conference shares key information and actions with over 120 people from across the region.
