Dear friends,

Despite unprecedented challenges this year, the staff of the Noble Maritime Collection worked hard to find ways to continue the museum's mission.

We created The Noble at Home a collection of online exhibitions, instructional videos, virtual tours, and performances curated by our staff especially for you and your children.
We developed an Educators' Resources page to help meet the needs of parents and teachers educating students remotely.
We premiered NOW (Noble on Watch), a new streaming platform for virtual museum programs. Next up is historian Patricia Salmon's lecture "Made on the Kill Van Kull" this Friday, December 4 at 7 PM.

The museum has also been open since early September, with new protocols in place to keep you and your loved ones safe while visiting. Gallery hours remain Thursday through Sunday from 12 to 5 PM, and admission is always by donation. Visiting the Noble Maritime Collection is a safe, socially distant, and inexpensive outing for you to do with family and friends during the holiday break. In early 2021, we will present a new exhibition of 19th-century oil paintings from the Sailors' Snug Harbor Collection which have never before been on public display.

We also recently hosted our first-ever online auction fundraiser. Thank you to those of you who participated in that event and made it a success.

If you did not give during the auction, today is Giving Tuesday, a global initiative to support non-profits. We are all facing uncertain times, and understand that it may be hard to give right now, but if you are in the position to make a donation to the museum, we would be very grateful.

Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you to the museum this holiday season!

Warm regards,

Ciro Galeno, Jr.
Executive Director
