Noble
Maritime Collection New York
Location: 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island
Gracing the historic grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center,
the Noble Maritime Collection is a major catalyst for further advancement of the
site, for volunteerism to improve community life, and for the preservation and study
of art and maritime history. Located on an 83-acre site, the Noble Marine Collection
is housed in a building that is a museum piece itself. The museum has been named
after John A. Noble. An Academician of the National Academy of Design, Noble was
the recipient of its most prestigious awards, including two Henry LeGrand Cannon
Prizes and the Samuel Finley Breese Morse Medal. An Associate of the Society of
American Graphic Artists and Audubon Artists, his work is included in the permanent
collections of several institutions both in this country and abroad. The Noble Maritime
Collections includes an education program with art, history, drama, music, and boat
trips to the ships' graveyards of New York.
