NS Savannah will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 24 – 30, where you can take a self-guided tour of the ship, experiencing it just as passengers did while it was in service in the 1960s, and now you can even walk through the former nuclear reactor space in the containment vessel!

Today is #InternationalArchivesDay, and we wanted to share some exciting news. We've recently acquired the Joe Hack Collection. Hack was a naval architect renowned for his work designing tugs and barges. He began his draftsman work in the early 1940s. #MaritimeHistory
This collection includes 150 tubes of blueprints, as well as binders and folders of drawings, notes, and calculations. Special thanks to Eric Takakjian for facilitating this donation and building custom shelving units to store the plans in their tubes.
Our archives team continues to stabilize, arrange, and describe this collection, and we look forward to sharing more about Hack's legacy with the world.
