Lilac Preservation Project
Organization Quote:
New York's only historic steamship

1933 steam-powered Lilac, a former Coast Guard lighthouse tender.
The non-profit Lilac Preservation Project is restoring the 1933 steam-powered Lilac, a former Coast Guard lighthouse tender. She is New York's only historic steamship, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and eligible to be a National Historic Landmark. Lilac offers educational and cultural programs related to maritime history while looking forward to the day when she brings steam back to the Hudson.
In 2011 The Lilac is moored at Pier #25/ Hudson River, at Foot of North Moore Street, Manhattan
