| The Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge #79 was built in 1914. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only floating wooden covered barge of its kind restored and ready to receive visitors. It functions as the home of the Hudson Waterfront Museum, a floating classroom, a showboat, and an art exhibition space. Together with developer Greg O'Connell, an ambitious group of volunteers has transformed a former dumping area in Red Hook, Brooklyn into what has been cited by the Neighborhood Open Space Coalition as "an ideal example of open space and waterfront access which provides an excellent complement to waterfront development". |  The Waterfront Museum at it's former location on the Garden Pier. |
