The 501(c)(3) non-profit SS Columbia Project (SSCP) has acquired the National Historic Landmark (NHL) steamship SS Columbia for restoration and operation as a means of revitalizing the communities of the Hudson River Valley through responsible heritage tourism. The operating Columbia will restore an historic transportation link between New York City and the Hudson River Valley by carrying students and tourists up the Hudson River on day trips, allowing them to enjoy the cultural, natural, and historically important resources of the region. The vessel will serve as a floating mobile museum and cultural events venue. Educational programming, increased visitor spending, and developing awareness of the Hudson River Valley as a sustainable economic resource that must be protected will directly benefit New York City and all the communities along the Hudson.
