Port of Albany's National Maritime Day Celebration a Success!
The skies offered up a day of smooth sailing and sunshine for residents of the Capital District who came out to enjoy the festivities at the Port of Albany's National Maritime Celebration on Sunday, June 19th. The event kicked off with the formal commemoration aboard the U.S.S. Slater honoring Richard and Maralyn Walker, whose longtime volunteer efforts on behalf of the Albany Maritime Ministry are exemplary.

Attendees enjoyed free boat rides on the Dutch Apple and Spirit of Albany, free guided trolley tours of the Port of Albany, free tours of the USS Slater, a working locks display by the NYS Canal Corp., rope/knot tying demonstrations, and a display by the Albany Maritime Ministry.
