Museum of Maritime Navigation and Communication

Founded in 2010, the collection focuses on Staten Island's seafaring history through specialized gear like depth sounders, gyrocompasses, and RADAR/ARPA equipment. The actual visit, however, depends entirely on what you encounter. Some visitors meet Sam, an experienced guide who brings the technical history to life. Others report finding a seemingly vacant, unkempt building, cautioning that it is far from a typical museum experience.
