New Jersey Naval Museum, Maritime and military museum in Hackensack, United States
The New Jersey Naval Museum was a maritime and military museum located along the Hackensack River in Hackensack. It displayed vessels, submarines, and naval artifacts that documented the history of American naval operations.
The museum opened in 1972 and operated its riverside location for an annual symbolic rent of one dollar until closing in 2016. Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage to the site, leading to its eventual closure.
The museum served as an educational center where visitors learned about naval operations, maritime strategies, and technological developments in naval warfare.
The museum site is difficult to access as the building remains closed following flood and vandalism damage. You can see the submarine USS Ling anchored in the river from a distance, though access to it is restricted.
The USS Ling, a 312-foot Balao-class submarine from World War II, still sits anchored in the Hackensack River. This vessel, once the centerpiece of the museum, now stands as a visible reminder of the site's history.
