South Street Seaport used to be a vibrant area in lower Manhattan, but then Hurricane Sandy pretty much destroyed the Seaport Pier and the large mall that was close by. It's eerily quiet there now.
There's lots of construction going though and it looks like this place is going to have a lot of potential as a place to visit. I'd love to see how it looks once the construction is finished.
This expansive attraction has indoor museums, outdoor experiences and boats. Modern museum structures compliment the actual historical buildings that make up the seaport. All aspects of a seaport seem to be present. Sailmaker, rope makers, cooper, blacksmith and more.
The South Street Seaport is a historic area in the New York City borough of Manhattan, centered where Fulton Street meets the East River, and adjacent to the Financial District. The Seaport is a designated historic district, and is distinct from the neighboring Financial District. The buildings in the background are in Brooklyn Heights across the East River.
Charles W. Morgan is a whaling ship that was active for 80 years. She is the only surviving wooden whaler from 2,700 boats operated in the United States' whaling fleet. On her deck are huge try pots that render blubber into whale oil. She came to Mystic Seaport in 1941 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
A view of Boston's Seaport neighborhood on New Years Day, 2020. I remember when the ICA stood alone, surrounded by empty lots left after the removal of the vast South Boston rail yards. Now the area is a sea of high-tech companies, expensive condos, and LED lights.
