The Wavertree is Back at South Street Seaport
 
After spending 16 months in dry dock during a $13 million restoration, the tall ship Wavertree is back in her berth at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York.

During the Golden Age of Sail, harbors were packed with ships that carried cargo around the world. Ships such as Wavertree were a familiar sight, and now that she has returned to New York, restored to her former glory, the ship brings back that feeling of grand voyages and commerce.

Wavertree was built in Southampton, England, in 1885, and plied the world's oceans, carrying various cargo. In 1910, after 25 years of sailing, she was caught in a Cape Horn storm that toppled her masts and ended her career as a cargo ship, according to the museum. She was salvaged and used as a floating warehouse and then as a sand barge in South America, where the waterfront workers referred to her as el gran velero (the great sailing ship). In 1968, the museum stepped in, and she was towed to New York to become the iconic centerpiece of the museum's waterfront.
