About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree ⛴️

Built in Southampton, England, Wavertree is not just any ship; she's the last surviving iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo vessel, renowned for her incredible journey spanning the globe. Since her debut 24 years ago, this historic gem has become a symbol of maritime history and an essential part of New York City's past. Wavertree is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and stands as a testament to the era's daring sailors and the bustling life at the waterfront.
