Bayshore Center<br />

The Bayshore Center at Bivalve (BCB), a working waterfront museum, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the human impact on the<br />

environment. The organization owns and operates the historic Schooner AJ Meerwald, a sailing classroom and vehicle to enjoy the area’s waterways. The<br />

museum, located in the historic shipping sheds in Bivalve, <strong>NJ</strong>, is the AJ Meerwald’s home port. The AJ Meerwald docks in various ports in and around New<br />

Jersey. The Schooner AJ Meerwald, built in 1928, serves over 4,000 passengers annually, sailing from selected ports in <strong>NJ</strong> as well as visiting other ports in<br />

Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. Educational programs focus on marine science and history (e.g. plankton, water quality, etc.). The AJ Meerwald<br />

also provides private charters and public sails.<br />
