A riverside focus from Pier 40 at W. Houston St. to the Chelsea Piers recalls what has vanished, identifies clues to what was there, and celebrates what draws us to the Hudson today. Your walk leader worked at Pier 40 when it was vibrant with passenger and cargo shipping; see where the Titanic should have arrived and the survivors landed; how the Chelsea Piers took on vibrant new uses; and how the High Line changed the old neighborhood.
Your walk leader is the Past Chairman of the World Ship Society, Port of New York and the Past President of the Steamship Historical Society.
