Stevens Through the Years

The SS Stevens, a 473-foot, 14,893-ton ship, served as a floating dormitory from 1968 to 1975 for approximately 150 students. Moored on the Hudson River at the foot of campus across from New York City, the world's first collegiate floating dormitory became one of the best-known college landmarks in the nation for a time. Following the sale of the ship, the Class of 1975 presented funds to the school for the preparation of a site on Wittpenn Walk where one of Stevens' six-ton anchors was placed in tribute to "the Ship." On the day the SS Stevens was towed away, the alumni association recounted sentiments in its journal like this one: "She disappeared into the fog and into our hearts."
