Historic Vessel Policy
The Trust has prepared a Historic Vessel policy to encourage and strengthen the historic and educational components of the evolving Park and waterfront. Prior to adopting this policy, HRPT sought information from other maritime parks and museums throughout the country and gave consideration to the requirements of various funding sources and legal concerns in developing this policy.

The policy identifies selection criteria for long-term and short-term docking of historic vessels within the Park. In addition to being listed or eligible for listing on the State and/or National Register(s) of Historic Places, the Trust will give consideration to various criteria including, but not limited to, the vessel’s condition, public access and programming needs, and the relationship of the vessel to NYC maritime history.
