We’re proud to announce that the multimedia exhibit aboard our 1886 square-rigger Balclutha just won first place in the 2009 National Association for Interpretation Media Competition! Please come aboard and experience this below-deck immersive exhibit.

This February, we have special programming to mark African American History month, including an exposition of the maritime routes of the Underground Railroad and a sing-along exploration of the African American/Caribbean contribution to traditional sea chanteys.

For kids of all ages, one of our vol- unteer storytellers will present a charming original maritime tale in our Visitor Center: the 1887 adventures of two stowaway kittens who get more than they bargained for aboard the Balclutha!

And our free cell phone tours, which debuted this summer, were so popular that they’ve been held over into the off-season. If you’re on the Pier, just look for a station and punch in the number for expanded information recorded by our own ranger staff. But you can now access your maritime heri- tage anywhere – just check out our web page for the call-in number and a list of subjects!
