Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum

The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum exhibits a collection of 6,000 artifacts that illustrate maritime history from the nineteenth century.

Founded in 1942, the museum preserves the legacy of Long Island's whaling industry through documents, tools, and maritime equipment from local vessels.

The museum maintains 2,800 volumes of maritime literature, including ship logs, journals, and correspondence from Cold Spring Harbor's whaling fleet.

Located at 279 Main Street, the museum opens Tuesday through Friday from noon to 4 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 5 PM.

The museum houses New York's sole nineteenth-century whaleboat with complete original equipment, plus an extensive collection of scrimshaw artifacts.
