About Knickerbocker Sailing Association
Knickerbocker Sailing Association is a non-profit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender boating club, now in its 28th year. They encourage members who support diversity and enjoy getting out on the water of the greater New York area.

About Bowne & Co.
Established by Robert Bowne in 1775, Bowne & Co. holds the distinction of being New York's oldest operating business under the same name. After growing as a financial printer throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Bowne & Co. Inc. partnered with the Seaport Museum in 1975 to open a 19th-century-style print shop at 211 Water Street in the South Street Seaport Historic District. Today, it is comprised of the Bowne & Co. Printing Office, a workspace that continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing using seven historic presses from South Street Seaport Museum's working collection, alongside Bowne & Co. Stationers, 19th-century-style emporium selling gifts and fine goods.
