Welcoming seafarers along the hudson river
in new york’s capital districT
welcome to albany
Since 1996, Albany Maritime Ministry (AMM) has been welcoming seafarers who dock along the Hudson River in the Capital District of Upstate New York, in partnership with Seafarers International House in New York City.
With two staff chaplains, a crew of dedicated volunteers, and the support of countless congregations, businesses, organizations, and individuals across the Albany area, we minister to the spiritual, family, and practical needs of the seafarers visiting the Ports of Albany and Coeymans.
The William G. Hempel Seafarer Center, our home base of operations, is located in the Port of Albany at 109 Smith Blvd., Albany, NY 12202.
