Family Ecology Sail

Saturday, July 11, 2026•4:00 PM

Join the Seaport Museum for an exciting adventure that will immerse us in the ecosystem of New York Harbor! As we sail on the 1885 schooner Pioneer, you are invited to take part in the experience by hauling on ropes to raise the sails; studying the ecology of the estuary; measuring water characteristics that are critical to the ecosystem, such as salinity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen; and examining seaweeds and other plants, as well as a variety of small organisms including plankton.
