We are a citizen-led military support organization founded in 1902 to support the sea services — U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine. The New York Council was the first council established and is now one of the largest and most active of the Navy League of the United States councils. Many New Yorkers and Sailors know us as one of the founders of Fleet Week New York.

Meet us at the intersection of maritime art and history

Join New York Council Members and special guests at TALEA Beer’s Penn District Taproom for On Canvas and at Sea on Friday, September 19 for an evening of food and beverages, naval history, sea stories and a preview of our silent auction. Proceeds from this and our other two fall fundraising events will go toward next year’s programs in support of the sea services. LEARN MORE
