Hudson River Maritime Museum

Story

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is a maritime museum dedicated to the Hudson River.It is located at 50 Rondout Landing at the foot of Broadway in Kingston, New York, United States, along Rondout Creek in the city's old waterfront, just east of the John T. Loughran Bridge.Its collections are devoted to the history of shipping, boating and industry on the Hudson and its tributaries, such as the Rondout, where Kingston grew prosperous early in the 19th century as the northern end of the Delaware and Hudson Canal. The city was the busiest port between New York City and Albany.The museum was founded in 1980 by local Hudson River enthusiasts, but did not move to its present property, an old boat shop, until 1983. Its exhibits include various small craft, artifacts of river steamships such as the Mary Powell, a research library, ice-harvesting tools and maps, paintings and sketches from past eras. The 1898 steam tugboat Mathilda is displayed in the yard next to the museum. In the summer months boat trips are available to nearby Rondout Lighthouse, where the creek drains into the Hudson. Boats putting in at the dock range from privately owned pleasure craft to oceangoing cruise liners. The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater has its winter home port here and visits frequently as do many historic reproduction vessels such as the Onrust and the Half Moon. As well as having the ability to accommodate deep draft vessels at their docks the museum provides free docking for canoes and kayaks.

It is an awesome place to go! The area is brimming with activity although tonight I was here to board the Myrika, forgot how it's spelled exactly, but it's a yacht that can be rented by the hour. HealthAlliance sponsored an event for an oncology program and all its cancer warriors. It was such an honor to be among such brave, beautiful people. What a great evening, awesome views of the Hudson River Valley too!

This museum is a real gem. The history of the Hudson River is truly remembered at this museum. I would highly recommend visiting, even if you are a local.

So beautiful. The mountains rise at the horizons of both sides of the river. Very relaxing and beautiful! The only place where 4 corners meet at an intersection of original revolutionary period stones buildings. Dallas hots has the best hot dogs and deisings bakery is out of this world!
