Mission and programs · 2025

• ONCE AGAIN, OUR TANKER MARY A. WHALEN WAS THE MOST PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE HISTORIC SHIP IN NYC WITH TANKERTIME ACCESS TO THE MAIN DECK AND CHILDREN'S EDUCATION CABIN OFFERED MOST DAYS OF THE YEAR. THE AUDIENCE FOR OUR MONTHLY MAY THROUGH OCTOBER COMMUNITY POTLUCK BBQ ON THE SHIP GREW IN NUMBERS AND THE DIVERSITY OF THE ATTENDEES DID TOO. THIS EVENT BRINGS ADULTS AND FAMILIES TOGETHER AND PROVIDES EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING ABOUT OUR HISTORIC SHIP AND PORT CONTEXT IN A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE. WE GREW OUR VISITING VESSEL PROGRAM TO INCLUDE A NEW, DEEP PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HISTORIC SLOOP CLEARWATER WHICH TEACHES ECOLOGY, HISTORY, AND IS ALSO A TRAINING VESSEL. THIS IS A MAJOR BOOST TO LOCAL OFFERINGS AS THERE ARE NO EDUCATIONAL VESSELS SAILING OUT OF ANYWHERE NEAR HERE. THIS PARTNERSHIP IS ONGOING. WE PROMOTED SAILS TO SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY, NARRATED A TALK DURING ONE PUBLIC SAIL, AND COLLABORATED TO CREATE A MULTIMEDIA FILM SCREENING USING OUR SHIP AND THE CLEARWATER. 721 WENT ON 17 PUBLIC SAILS, 360 STUDENTS WENT ON 10 SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS, 132 SAILED ON 4 PRIVATE CHARTERS.PORTSIDE'S CREATED NEW PUBLIC, IN-PERSON, CULTURAL PROGRAMS TO FIND WAYS TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, ADDING "BOOKS AHOY" READINGS OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS, A SIP N PAINT EVENT FOR ADULTS, SHAPE NOTE SINGING, AND VIEWING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE. WE PARTICIPATED AGAIN IN THE ANNUAL NEIGHBORHOOD COMMEMORATION OF HURRICANE SANDY (THE BARNACLE PARADE) FOR WHICH WE CREATE MARITIME COSTUMES AND DISTRIBUTE FLOOD PREPAREDNESS MATERIAL. PORTSIDE IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS COMMITTED TO TEACHING STUDENTS AND ADULTS ABOUT FLOODING AND RESILIENCY SINCE SANDY. WE ADDED THOSE DESTRUCTIVE WATERSTORIES TOPICS TO OUR PROGRAM ROSTER AFTER SANDY.PORTSIDE'S 2024 EDUCATIONAL WORK WITH COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITIES REFLECTS OUR GROWING REPUTATION FOR EXPERTISE IN URBAN PLANNING, WATERFRONT ISSUES, MARITIME PAST AND PRESENT AND THE RICHNESS OF OUR VIRTUAL MUSEUM AT REDHOOKWATERSTORIES.ORG: WE WERE CONTACTED FOR THE FIRST TIME BY COLLEGES OUT OF STATE (UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA AND UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA) TO BE CONTENT ADVISORS FOR URBAN PLANNING/URBAN DESIGN STUDIOS. ALSO, WE WERE THE CLIENT FOR A LOCAL UNIVERSITY (PRATT INSTITUTE) STUDIO ON PARTICIPATORY PLANNING. WE USED THE SAME EXPERTISE FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION RELATED TO THE REPLANNING OF OUR LOCATION, THE BROOKLYN MARINE TERMINAL (BMT), NYC'S LARGEST LAND ACQUISITION IN DECADES, AND A SITE OF HISTORIC AND CURRENT MARITIME ACTIVITY. WE WERE CONTACTED BY MORE STUDENTS WORKING ON THEIR THESES THAN EVER BEFORE. ONE OF THEM, JORI JOHNSON, CREATED THE HIGHLY-PRAISED DOCUMENTARY "HARBORING HISTORY." WE HOSTED TWO PUBLIC SCREENINGS OF THAT WHICH INFORMED THE COMMUNITY DISCUSSION RELATED TO BMT. WE ALSO ADDED IT TO OUR VIRTUAL MUSEUM WHICH IS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE AVAILABLE TO ALL FREE OF CHARGE. WE CONTINUED GROWING THAT VIRTUAL-MUSEUM. OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WITH YOUNGER STUDENTS SERVED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS, SERVING PRE-K AND ELEMENTARY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THIS INCLUDED SCHOOLS RETURNING WITH ENTHUSIASM, PLUS NEW SCHOOLS. WE CREATED A NEW PRE-K CURRICULUM RELATED TO TUGBOATS FOR ONE SCHOOL AND LED THE FIELD TRIP. OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES TO AN AREA HIGH SCHOOL AND CADETS FROM SUNY MARITIME COLLEGE WERE HIGHLY PRAISED BY STUDENTS AND STAFF. THESE TEACH INTERDISCIPLINARY STEM TOPICS AND ADDITIONALLY GROW AWARENESS OF HOW TO USE THE WATERFRONT AND NYC FOR PLACE-BASED LEARNING, AND GROW PATHWAYS TO MARITIME CAREERS. WHAT ALSO ACCOMPLISHED THIS WAS OUR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHEER DELIVERY OF COOKIES AND NEWSPAPERS TO TUGS AND BARGES. THIS REACHED 50 VESSELS, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS THANKS THESE ESSENTIAL WORKERS, AND OUR VIDEO OF THIS PROVIDES AN EDUCATIONAL, INSIDER VIEW INTO THE WORKING WATERFRONT OF THIS HARBOR. THE VIDEO GOT 5.5K VIEWS ON OUR MAIN FB PAGE (A NEW HIGH), AND MANY THOUSANDS MORE IN PRIVATE FB GROUPS AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA INCLUDING OUR YOUTUBE PAGESITE DISRUPTIONS IN 2023 SHUT DOWN PROGRAMS UNTIL OCTOBER, REDUCING OUR 2024 ANNUAL BUDGET AS DID NOT BEING PAID BY A NYC AGENCY FOR OUR CITY COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY GRANT. 2024 HAD ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES WITH HEALTH ISSUES OF THE STAFF (RESOLVED), ED BEING HIT BY A CAR (MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT DISRUPTIVE; AND ED ALL HEALED), AND DEMANDS OF WORK RELATED TO THE REPLANNING OF OUR LOCATION NOW CALLED THE BROOKLYN MARINE TERMINAL (BMT).

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
