Tons of activities await at South Street Seaport Museum, home to a fleet of six ships including the 1907 lightship AMBROSE, a “floating lighthouse” to guide ships safely from the Atlantic Ocean into the broad mouth of lower New York Bay, the 1885 ship WAVERTREE, one of the last large sailing ships built of wrought iron, and the 1885 schooner PIONEER, an authentic 19th Century Schooner, with public sails daily from May thru October.

The museum is located at 12 Fulton St.,  NYC. southstreetseaportmuseum.org
