The South Street Seaport Museum , founded in 1967, the museum's mission is to preserve, interpret, and display the history of New York as a world port, highlighting both the South Street Seaport district and the tremendous contribution of maritime enterprise to the economic, social, and cultural heritage of the city, the state, and the nation. This is accomplished through exhibitions, on- and off-site public programs, and formal education programs for students of all ages. Tugboat Film and Video Series, now in it's third season, is an ongoing project presenting independent film programs, curated in response to the natural beauty and preservation of public spaces along New York City's waterfront.
