Someone Lived Here

Sailors' Snug Harbor


Listen Later

In this episode of Someone Lived Here, Kendra brings you to Sailors' Snug Harbor on Staten Island. The site was a retirement home for sailors that operated from the 1830s to the 1970s.

While we walk through the Noble Maritime Collection in building D with Megan Beck, we learn the story of the retirement homes creation and sailor's who lived there. And like many things happening in the early 1800s in New York, there is a Alexander Hamilton connection.

If you have any suggestions or ideas for the show please reach out to [email protected]. Thanks to Tim Cahill for music and Ben Kirk for artwork.
