The Waterfront Museum
A Museum Aboard a Working Harbor's Past
Discover
The Waterfront Museum occupies Lehigh Valley No. 79, a preserved railroad barge in Brooklyn. Its maritime and railroad collections explain how cargo moved between ships and rail connections around New York Harbor. The vessel itself helps make that system tangible, linking waterfront history to a structure built for everyday freight work.
