The Trustees of the Sailors' Snug Harbor
The Trustees of the Sailors' Snug Harbor is an operating foundation based in New York City, dedicated to providing financial assistance to retired mariners who meet specific eligibility criteria. Since its inception in the early nineteenth century, the organization has assisted over 16,500 mariners, ensuring support for those in need regardless of their location.
To qualify for assistance, mariners must have a verified history of 2,555 days at sea, with at least 1,825 days on U.S.-flagged ships, and must be 60 years of age or older, disabled, or unfit for duty. Financial eligibility also includes considerations regarding asset limits and the necessity to access available public benefits where applicable.
