ATTRACTIONS NYC Where Will We ATTRACTIONS NYC Where will we go? 1913 is planning a trip to the Big Apple, NYC. This trip is dependent on several factors still, including fundraising, approvals, etc. A cadet fee for those that are merit listed to attend will apply. The set cost will be $200 per person. It will take place over the May long weekend, 16-21 May 2019. 2 Days of school will be missed. Passports will also be required and you should obtain those now. Please note, not all cadets will be able to attend, 60 people total including selected staff will attend. A spring specific fundraiser event is planned for cadets to have a chance to lower their individual fee cost based on their own results of their sales. This will be above the regular expected fundraising events as planned. BOSTON TOURS http://battleshipcove.org/ Battleship Cove is a nonprofit maritime museum and war memorial in Fall River, Massachusetts. Featuring the world's largest collection of World War II naval vessels, it is home to the highly decorated battleship USS Massachusetts. It is located at the heart of the waterfront at the confluence of the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay and lies partially beneath the Braga Bridge and adjacent to Fall River Heritage State Park. The memorial traces its origins to the wartime crew of Massachusetts, who fought to save it from being broken up and ensure its preservation as a museum ship. The battleship forms a small cove which serves as a protected harbor for pleasure craft during the summer months. The Fall River Yacht Club maintains a dock nearby. The site also contains the historic 1920 Lincoln Park Carousel, originally located at Lincoln Park in nearby North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, restored by local vocational high school students and installed in a new pavilion in the early 1990s.

The Empire State Building The Empire State Building is a 102-story[b] Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and completed in 1931, the building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall, including its antenna. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of New York, which is of unknown origin. As of 2017 the building is the 5th-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States and the 28th-tallest in the world. It is also the 6th-tallest freestanding structure in the Americas. The site of the Empire State Building, located on the west side of Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets, was originally part of an early 18th century farm. In the late 1820s, it came into the possession of the prominent Astor family, with John Jacob Astor's descendants building the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel on the site in the 1890s. By the 1920s, the family had sold the outdated hotel and the site indirectly ended up under the ownership of Empire State Inc., a business venture that included businessman John J. Raskob and former New York governor Al Smith. The original design of the Empire State Building was for a 50- story office building. However, after fifteen revisions, the final design was for a 86-story 1,250-foot building, with an airship mast on top. This ensured it would be the world's tallest building, beating the Chrysler Building and 40 Wall Street, two other Manhattan skyscrapers under construction at the time that were also vying for that distinction. 911 Memorial The 9/11 Memorial is located at the site of the former World Trade Center complex and occupies approximately half of the 16-acre site. The Memorial features two enormous waterfalls and reflecting pools, each about an acre in size, set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers. During the September 11 attacks of 2001, 2,996 people were killed (including the 19 hijackers) and more than 6,000 others injured. These immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes (including the terrorists), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon. USS Intrepid The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is an American military and maritime history museum with a collection of museum ships in New York City. It is located at Pier 86 at 46th Street in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood on the West Side of Manhattan. The museum showcases the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, the cruise missile submarine USS Growler, a Concorde SST, a Lockheed A-12 supersonic reconnaissance plane, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Founded in 1982, the museum closed in 2006 for a two-year renovation of Intrepid and facilities. The museum reopened to the public on November 8, 2008 American Museum of Natural History – Moive “A night in the museum” The American Museum of Natural History (abbreviated as AMNH), located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, is one of the largest museums in the world. Located in Theodore Roosevelt Park across the street from Central Park, the museum complex comprises 28 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls, in addition to a planetarium and a library. The museum collections contain over 33 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, and human cultural artifacts, of which only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time, and occupies more than 2 million square feet (0.19×106 m2). The museum has a full-time scientific staff of 225, sponsors over 120 special field expeditions each year, and averages about five million visits annually. The one mission statement of the American Museum of Natural History is: "To discover, interpret, and disseminate—through scientific research and education—knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe. Central Park Central Park is an urban park in Manhattan, New York City. It is located between the Upper West Side and Upper East Side, roughly bounded by Fifth Avenue on the east, Central Park West (Eighth Avenue) on the west, Central Park South (59th Street) on the south, and Central Park North (110th Street) on the north. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States, with 40 million visitors in 2013, and one of the most filmed locations in the world. In terms of area, Central Park is the fifth-largest park in New York City, covering 843 acres (341 ha). The park was established in 1857 on 778 acres (315 ha) of land acquired by the city. In 1858, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect/landscape designer Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the "Greensward Plan". Construction began the same year, and the park's first area was opened to the public in the winter of 1858. Construction north of the park continued during the American Civil War in the 1860s, and the park was expanded to its current size in 1873. After a period of decline in the early 20th century, Robert Moses started a program to clean up Central Park. Another decline in the late 20th century spurred the creation of the Central Park Conservancy in 1980, which refurbished many parts of the park during the 1980s and 1990s circle line sightseeing cruises At Circle Line, we like to think that we’ve perfected the fine art of the New York City sightseeing tour. Since first opening in 1945, have hosted over 60 million passengers on our cruises. Today, we’re the only cruise company in New York Harbor exclusively dedicated to sightseeing with boats specifically designed to let you see as much as possible in any weather. Our dedication to offering the best possible NYC experience has earned us worldwide recognition as one of the best boat rides in the world Top of the Rock Observation Deck Upon entering Rockefeller Center, pass through security and ride up to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck, open 365 days a year. The view is as dramatic a sight as anyone can get in New York City. Day or night, the three floors of indoor and outdoor decks serve to impress. Take in the scenery from a comfortable seat or use binoculars for unobstructed views through glass panels on the 67th and 69th floors and in the open air observatory on the 70th floor. On all three levels, have a photo taken by a Kodak pro and pick it up on the way out Fee Collection. Each spot on the trip will cost $200.00 per. A specific fundraiser has been established and managed by the support committee to reduce the cost per cadet to any amount as raised by that cadet.

    NEH Summer Institute for Teachers: The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum/ Project Narrative Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum NEH Summer Institute Proposal, Summer 2020 Project Director: Dr. Lynda Kennedy Introduction The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Education Department proposes a two-week Summer Institute for classroom teachers from July 20 to July 31, 2020. The Institute, previously offered in Summer 2018, embodies the principles of the NEH Standing Together initiative through the use of two historic sites—the former U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark, and the former U.S. submarine, Growler, a unique artifact that represents the technology and tensions of the Cold War. These historic sites, along with the oral histories of the men that served on these vessels, will provide a powerful starting point for examining the history and legacy of Cold War technology. The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum will immerse teachers in scholarly historical research as well as the history, artifacts and oral histories in the Museum’s collection that embody the Cold War era. Integrating content exploring the historical context of technological innovation, the Institute will serve a national group of 25 high school history and science teachers in order to deepen their understanding and increase confidence in their ability to explore the subject thoroughly, critically and engagingly with their students. Dr. Lynda Kennedy, vice president of education and evaluation for the Intrepid Museum, will serve as a Project Director for the Institute.

  • To Download Our New York City Visitor's Guide
    Welcome To New York October 11 - 14 2018 Page | 1 Downtown New York has one of the great harbors of the world. It’s story started in Downtown. In 1609 Henry Hudson sailed the “Half Moon”, a Dutch ship into the harbor. The Dutch West India Company established a settlement in lower Manhattan, and named it New Amsterdam. In 1664 the English took over and renamed the colony New York. Some of the most notable historical sites are in reach of the hotel. Bowling Green, a triangular park established by the Dutch was the site of the purchase of Manhattan Island. It is the location of the Custom House which currently holds the National Museum of the American Indian. Battery Park is a 25 acre park at the tip of Manhattan, and is the site of many memorials. It was named for the artillery battery used in the American Revolutionary war. South Street Seaport and Museum, on Front street, was established by the Dutch West India Company. The area features some of the oldest architecture in the city. Pearl Street was created from Oyster Shells which were in abundance in the area of the seaport. The Brooklyn Bridge is the world’s first steel wire suspension bridge. Started in 1869 and completed fourteen yeare later in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Wall Street marks the original boundary of the Dutch settlement. Fraunces Tavern Museum and Restaurant is located at 54 Pearl Street. In 1792 it was Headquarters for George Washington, and was the venue for peace negotiations with the British.

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs). 1828. https://scholarship.shu.edu/dissertations/1828 Save Our Ships: The Viability of Naval Vessels as Museum Exbibitions Seth Weiner Submitted in partial fulfillment ofthe requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts in Museum Professions Seton Hall University December 2012 Juergen Heinrichs, Ph.D., Faculty Advisor Abstract The past twenty years have seen dramatic changes in the state of the world economic situation. As a result, museums the world over have been forced to take measures to ensure their continued economic viability. This process of adaptation has been especially difficult for small museums, as these institutions often lack substantial missions, good locations, qualified staff, and clear exhibition and collections management policies. This thesis examines the one such institution, the New Jersey Naval Museum, as well as several case study institutions of similar mission scope, in order that workable solutions may be found that will assist small museum institutions in coping with the ever changing world economic climate. Included are analyses of scope, institution location, patterns of tourism, and institutional organization, as:- well as proposed ideas for fundraising and more efficient exhibit design.
