A 65-year land lease is being offered for the Pier 7 site occupied by the deteriorated former museum building next to a wharf where the decaying iron hull of the 19th century sailing ship Falls of Clyde remains moored despite years of failed efforts by DOT to remove the historic vessel that was once part of the Maritime Center museum.

DOT’s offer, published earlier this month, is part of an enduring ambition by state officials to have private developers create public attractions that revitalize state land along part of the harbor’s mauka edge — an area including Pier 7 and several neighboring piers near Aloha Tower and generally referred to as the Aloha Tower complex.
