Description
SS General Slocum Tour
Saturday May 18 at noon
Pier 66
Join NYC H2O as we sail aboard the historic fireboat John J Harvey, retracing and recounting the ill fated last voyage of the Slocum. Michael Miscione, the Manhattan Borough Historian, will be our tour guide.
John J. Harvey is an Uninspected Vessel and therefore is not certified by the US Coast Guard for carriage of passengers for hire. All trips on John J Harvey are free. The trip does require resources to produce and operate the vessel and donations are accepted but are completely voluntary. All donations will go to cover the cost of running the program.
The tour will last 4 hours in total.
We sail in a light rain but a storm will postpone. 'Storm' date will be June 15
