A Climate of Change
The Fleet House is necessarily located on the shore, vulnerable to rising sea levels and coastal erosion. To ensure the longevity of the facility—and to preserve the much admired building—it was moved back from the shore 40 feet in 2025. At the same time the surrounding landscape and the Fleet's pier were also raised. Now, the Fleet House again holds items representing more than 100 years of boating history.
