South Street Seaport Museum
Description
The South Street Seaport Museum consists of five ships at Pier 16, a working 19th Century letterpress shop, a fine-gifts store and multiple exhibitions that bring to life New York City's history through its role as a major world port, trade hub and place for cultures to come together. Picturesque cobblestone-lined streets, historic buildings from the early 1800s, exceptional views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights, the tall ship Wavertree and tours on the schooner Pioneer and tugboat W.O.Decker.
