- In this episode of the podcast Someone Lived Here, Kendra brings you to Sailors’ Snug Harbor on Staten Island. This was a retirement home for sailors that was free of charge for its residents. The home was created by Robert Richard Randall’s will and was run by a Board of Trustees that purchased the 160 acres on Staten Island.

Enjoyed this. I have recited this history many many times. I worked at The Sailors' Snug Harbor in Sea Level NC from 1986 to 2017. What wonderful times with those sailors. When I began we had several who had lived on Staten Island facility. I was hired by the last sea captain GOVERNOR who worked both in NY and NC Facility. The facility opened in 1976 in NC and the last sailor living there who was a recipient of The Trust died in April 2017. ...Rose Tankard
What an amazing history to be a part of! I am so glad the program continued in North Carolina and it's wonderful to hear your perspective.
I have binge watched most of your videos and I just stamped on this one - I loved it ❤ How is possible that it has only 100 something views?
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication! I'm so happy I discovered you, I'm kind of addicted to your podcast/ youtube videos! ❤😊
Good details in this one. Too bad we do not take care of our sailors like this now. I
Am curious though, why can’t this be used for immigrants coming to NY now? Were there any sailors here that left a diary of day to day life there?
Immigrants he'll no!
