Museum ships are tied up again at Piers 15, 16 and 17, a clipper-ship berth of old
In the clipper-ship era, vessels carrying goods from Europe, Asia and South America docked at Piers 15, 16 and 17 on South Street. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Seaport district in 1977, the South Street Seaport Museum had returned ships to these piers, many dating from the late nineteenth century and under restoration. The piers also hosted summer concerts and theater.
“…through the efforts of the South Street Seaport Museum, ships are once again tied up at these historic piers…”
