The Working Harbor Committee produces maritime educational programs and boat tours as well as community events, such as the annual Great North River Tugboat Race and Competitions.

By involving people in learning how the harbor works and what it does, and educating them about the rich and challenging history of the harbor, the Working Harbor Committee strives to increase awareness of the importance of our magnificent working harbor.
