CASA 2022

Merfolk in New York Harbor

Mermaids and merboys have found their way into New York Harbor! This video will show students how to make simple merfolk out of a clothespin, foam, and yarn. Feel free to color in tee-shirts on your merpeople, give them a fun hairstyle, and personalize them any way you like!

The Kraken in the Kill Van Kull

The legendary octopus got caught in a big wave that swept him into the Kill Van Kull. Happily, he is friendly and waving to the crew on container ships and the ferry as they pass by. Perhaps one of the ships will give him a ride back to the ocean! This video will show students how to trace a boat onto a map and add the octopus to the scene.

Cultural After-School Adventure (CASA) program conducted by the Noble Maritime Collection, and generously funded by former Councilwoman Debi Rose. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
