πŸ‘ŸWear sneakers with good grip, decks can get slippery

Step inside the massive iron hold of the Wavertree and feel like you've entered a cathedral built for cargo. This 1885 tall ship, the last of its kind, lets you walk the decks, turn the ship's wheel, and explore crew quarters while docents share tales of global voyages and stormy seas.
