USS Slater is a preserved destroyer escort moored on the Hudson River in Albany.
The ship served during the Second World War and later with the Greek navy, and its restoration offers a close look at the compact working environment of an escort vessel.
Plan around the museum ship’s guided-tour arrangements and seasonal visitor schedule. Historic shipboard routes involve features such as ladders and tight passages, so review access guidance before booking if mobility is a concern. Allow time to learn about the crew’s daily routines as well as the vessel’s equipment and wartime role.
