Maritime Cultural Resources Database Project
The MaritimeNY Map originated from our commitment to ensure that maritime resources are sensitively preserved and do not succumb to development. This community-based mapping project allows users to search the MaritimeNY Map for information on historic sites and contribute to the database.
The Maritime Cultural Resource Database includes, but is not limited to the following categories:
• Lighthouses
• Harbor defenses & other military (naval, army corps of engineers, supply depots)
• Coast guard & life saving services
• Historic Ships
• Maritime Museums, Libraries, Archives & Collections
• Monuments & Markers
• Maritime Trade structures: custom houses, piers & wharves, steamship offices, warehouses,
• Maritime Trade Sites: shipyards, marine/rail, ferry terminals, dry docks, scrap yards
• Seafarer’s services: lodging, taverns, rest homes; churches
• Yacht Clubs, boathouses, and other historic maritime recreational sites
