Step back in history in New York's most colorful neighborhood, South Street Seaport - a twelve-square block landmark district of historic buildings, winding cobblestone streets and the impressive, three-story, glass and steel, Pier 17 Pavilion.

Climb aboard the tall ship Peking, enjoy a guided walking tour or visit the world class South Street Seaport Museum. Take a harbor cruise for the best view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. You may get tired from walking around, but you will never tire of the magnificent sights.

The seaport district dates back to the 1600's and, over a period of 300 years, grew into one of the city's most vital commercial centers, serving as the international gateway to New York. In fact, New York became a great city because of its access to the sea and through the 17th and 18th centuries, the city and the port grew steadily. By the start of the 19th century, the port - located along South Street - had begun a period of intense growth and activity.
