The Hudson Waterfront Museum and The Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge #79 are highly visible in the NY metropolitan area. Known as one of the best vistas of the NY Harbor, and for unique showboat events, the Museum continues to grow in popularity for all ages. This is evidenced by annual increases in attendance, and by numerous banks, utilities, politicians, private foundations, and the media which have continually shown a real interest in promoting the perpetuation of our floating treasure and its many associated activities. The Port Authority of NY and NJ, the US Coast Guard, US Navy, US Army Corps of Engineers, NY DOT, NY Harbor Police, and the NY Fire Department all join in our unique SPLASH program with pride and enthusiasm.

As an authentic source for maritime enthusiasts, the Barge has attracted the attention of many publications. It has often been featured in Rail Marine Info Groups Transfer Magazine, the National Maritime Historical Society's SEA HISTORY magazine, South Street Seaport Museum's SEAPORT and many books on Maritime Museums and historic vessels.
