Sunday's Working Harbor Day offers industrial cruises
This Sunday, New York's annual Working Harbor Day will encouarge the city's island-bound landlubbers to hop on a boat -- pirate ship or otherwise -- for an up-close view of how the water-bound lives and works.
 Hidden harbor tours will visit tugboat yards, container ship ports, shipyards, dry docks and graving docks. The South Street Seaport Museum will offer reduced admission for $3 for the day. (They're also the ones offering the pirate ship sails aboard the Pioneer.)
The event is organized by the Working Harbor Committee, which has also announced summer dates for their hidden harbor tours. This year's hidden harbor tours are scheduled for June 10 and 24, July 8 and 29, August 12 and 26 and September 16 and 30.
The group has also scheduled a June 8 NY Harbor Rail-Marine Cruise.
