The Waterfront Museum and the Tug Pegasus Preservation Project are bringing an exciting week of free public tugboat trips and free barge tours to the park. The Waterfront Museum, housed aboard the 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge No. 79, and the 1907 Tugboat Pegasus are remarkable gems and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They will dock at the foot of Atlantic Avenue at Pier 6 from Thursday, July 14 - Monday, July 25. The Conservancy is delighted to be a Tug & Barge Week Partner and we encourage you join us in supporting this unique programming at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
