Rust Bucket
This is a small portion of the Wavertree which was built at Southampton, England in 1885, one of the last large sailing ships built of wrought iron. Today she is the largest afloat. After sailing for a quarter century, she limped into the Falkland Islands in December 1910, having been dismasted off Cape Horn. The Wavertree was acquired by South Street Seaport Museum in 1968 and is in need of significant restoration. Taken in New York City, NY, USA.
