Charles Point Council of the National Maritime Historical Society

Charles Point Council of the National Maritime Historical Society Headquartered in Peekskill, New York, the Charles Point Council operates under the auspices of the National Maritime Historical Society.

Since its inception in 1992, the Council has provided the community with an ongoing lecture series on maritime topics and maritme related field trips and events. The Council has also been involved in historical preservation efforts on the local level, initiating the renovation of Peekskill's Charles Point Park and the restoration of Peekskill's China Pier (now Fleischmann's Pier) built at the turn

of the 20th century to receive shipments of raw materials from the West Indies and from as far away as China.
