Historic Vessels to Rendezvous at Hudson River Park

Pretend you're a 20th-century sailor, while plying the waters aboard Pegasus, a 103-year-old tugboat—or get a poignant taste of New York's recent past while chugging along on retired fireboat John J. Harvey, which pumped water to firefighters for 80 hours after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Those lacking sea legs can also take a dockside tour of Lilac, once a Coast Guard steamship.
