Pier 16 Tickets, Maritime museum and ticket shop at South Street Seaport, US.
Pier 16 is a ticket facility and maritime museum at South Street Seaport overlooking the East River in Lower Manhattan. From here, visitors can book boat tours, explore historic vessels, and purchase admission to waterfront exhibits.
The pier developed as part of South Street Seaport's transformation, a waterfront area that served as a shipping hub since the 1600s. Today it preserves that maritime past through restored vessels and educational displays.
The exhibits here tell stories of seafaring and shipbuilding that shaped how New York grew as a port. Visitors can see how maritime traditions remain woven into the character of this downtown waterfront.
The ticketing kiosks and counter let you purchase passes on the spot or through your phone beforehand. The area is walkable and well-marked, with nearby public transit connections making arrival straightforward.
Several restored historic sailing ships are moored right at the pier and visible for free from outside. They represent different eras of seafaring and let you see how vessels were built and operated in earlier times.
