Schermerhorn Row, South Street Seaport Museum

Financial District

Climb aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree and 1908 lightship Ambrose docked at Pier 16, then wander cobblestone streets to a working 19th-century print shop. This isn't your typical museum: history spills across the Seaport district, from maritime galleries to harbor views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
