Fort Schuyler is the home of the State University of New York Maritime College, commonly known as SUNY Maritime. The school has had many names through the years, among them New York State Nautical School, New York State Merchant Marine Academy, and New York State Maritime Academy; I find it convenient to call it Fort Schuyler – its permanent home since 1929.
