On Saturday, June 21, 2025, twenty-five PONY Branch members and guests enjoyed a private tour of the South Street Seaport Museum’s new exhibition, Maritime City, in the historic 1868 A.A. Thomson & Co. warehouse. Martina Caruso, the Museum’s Director of Collections and Exhibitions, led the tour of the extensive three-floor exhibition, which features 540 objects from the museum’s collections and archives deliberately-selected to underscore how New York City’s identity as a global capital of culture and finance is rooted in its origins as a seaport. A highlight for many was the newly restored, 22-foot-long builder model of RMS QUEEN MARY that was displayed for decades in the ticketing hall of the Cunard Building at 25 Broadway. After the tour, many of those attending enjoyed a waterside lunch at the Cobble Fish restaurant on nearby Pier 16.
