History on the Water

Heritage Center

From the moment Henry Hudson sailed into it in 1609, New York Harbor was destined to become one of the greatest ports in History. Today there are many ways to explore this area - from kayaks and speedboats to ferries and cruise ships.

Located on the East River side of the Harbor, Circle Line Downtown and the South Street Seaport Museum will guide you through the momentous past of the NYC waterways.
