Experience the breathtaking beauty of New York Harbor in real time with this live ship webcam located at the Waterfront Museum in Red Hook, Brooklyn. From this unique vantage point, viewers can enjoy a panoramic view of the Red Hook Channel in the Upper New York Bay, stretching from the iconic Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the Buttermilk Channel near Governors Island.
The Waterfront Museum, founded in 1985, sits along the historic docks of Red Hook aboard the 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge #79—a floating cultural landmark that preserves New York’s maritime heritage. The HD live stream captures close-up views of ships and harbor traffic, as well as stunning wide-angle shots of Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the charming Pier 44 Waterfront Garden, one of Brooklyn’s hidden gems for watching the best sunsets in New York City.
In the foreground, the large red-brick building seen on the camera is the Liberty Warehouse, a renowned event and wedding venue offering an unforgettable backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor.
The Upper New York Bay is where the Hudson River and East River meet before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, this body of water is shared between two states—New York and New Jersey—making it one of the most dynamic and historically significant harbors in the world.
Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast, a traveler planning your next visit, or simply love watching the rhythm of the city from the water, this live camera offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the heart of New York City’s harbor life.
