Sailor Schuyler and his Seaport Friends

Sailor Schuyler and his Seaport Friends is a franchise of character mascots owned by Six Flags.

Pre-Six Flags Era
The franchise started in 1976 with just the Sailor Schuyler character in various Schuyler Lake park merchandise and advertisements.

In 1977, two more characters were added, Seamore Sea Serpent and The Admiral. Also costumed walk around character were introduced.

In 1985, a year after KECO purchased the park, The Adventures of Sailor Schuyler was commissioned to air on TV. It ran for 2 seasons comprising of 26 episodes in total between 1985 and 1987.

Six Flags Era
In 1991, after Six Flags purchased the parks, Schuyler Lake was forced to rename the Hanna-Barbera Land kiddie land and since at the time they already had the Sailor Schuyler mascot in use at the park as a walk around costumed character, they decided to expand Sailor Schuyler into a character franchise by introducing some "Seaport Friends" for Sailor Schuyler, in 1991, Six Flags bought the character licenses from Schuyler Amusements, Inc. In 2001, for Sailor Schulyer's 25th Anniversary and in 2002 for his 25th anniversary, The Admiral returned to the park for a limited time from May 1, to August 31, 2001 for the first time, and unknown dates in 2002.

In 2006 following Six Flags' acquisition of the Paramount Parks chain, Six Flags decided to expand the use of the Sailor Schuyler and his Seaport Friends character to the former Paramount Parks as a replacement for the Hanna-Barbera and Nickelodeon characters in the kiddie lands.
