Take the 2nd Avenue Bus or take the C or A subway line to Fulton Street Station
The bus stops not far from here
Peking Main Deck (sword dueling was not allowed when Peking was moored here)
Tall ships need ropes including: shrouds, halyards, braces, vangs, and hawsers
Cabin space
The Ambrose lightship was a floating lighthouse in New York Bay
A lightship needs a loud bell to guide ships entering or leaving harbor at night or on foggy days
The Ambrose Helm
Below deck on Ambrose Lightship
Well, someone had to cook on those long days and nights on station in New York Harbor
There are some modern boats at the South Street Seaport
Perhaps you'd like to own this one
I remember buying a ticket to sail on this tall ship
Here's a closer look at the boat's aft section before passengers boarded
The seaport had other attractions, like a solar powered carousel
The seaport has many vendors and restaurants
Buy tickets across the street from the seaport docks, for onboard visits to classic boats
Fulton and Front Streets near seaport
Stop for a snack and gaze at the tall ships across South Street
Some rented bicycles at the time to see Lower Manhattan's Financial District or see the Brooklyn Bridge
