New York, May 19, 2009--- America's Frontline is a special audio tour presented by the National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy and the National Park Service; aboard a New York Waterway Ferry. The tour celebrates the rich history of America's most famous harbor, regaling visitors with stories of the massive British invasion in 1776 (the largest invasion force the world would see until D-Day), the flotilla that evacuated Lower Manhattan on 9/11, and the role the harbor plays in today's homeland security efforts.
Beginning Fleet Week and running throughout the summer, the National Park Service and the Harbor Conservancy present this unique boat tour saluting the Harbor's contribution to America's national defense. During Fleet Week the America's Frontline tour will have a special schedule that can be paired with a tour of the Intrepid. Discounted rates are available to those currently serving in the U.S. military and for veterans.
"Most local residents and tourists are unaware of the many natural, historic and recreational treasures waiting to be discovered in the National Parks of New York Harbor," said Marie Salerno president of the Harbor Conservancy. "Taking the America's Frontline affords visitors time on the water while exploring our nation's military heritage."
