Noble Maritime Collection
John Noble's floating studio
The Noble Maritime Collection preserves and interprets art and maritime history,
symbolized by Sailors’ Snug Harbor and captured in the art and writings of John A.
Noble
John A. Noble is one of America's most distinguished marine artists. He worked as a seaman and in marine salvage and later drew inspiration for his artwork while working on a floating studio he built himself out of salvaged vessel parts.
John Noble’s lithographs, drawings, paintings and writings, are on display at the Noble
Maritime Collection, housed in a former dormitory at Sailors Snug Harbor. The
Museums Centerpiece is Noble’s fully restored houseboat studio.
The Noble Maritime Collection celebrates the people and traditions of the working
waterfront with exhibitions, education programs and through public access to its maritime
art library and archives.
