Wavertree, Museum ship at South Street Seaport, Manhattan, US
The Wavertree, measuring 99 meters in length, stands as an iron-hulled sailing vessel with three masts at Pier 16 in Lower Manhattan.
Built in Southampton during 1885, this cargo ship transported jute between India and Scotland before serving global trade routes until 1910.
The vessel represents thousands of sailing ships that defined New York Harbor's maritime commerce during the nineteenth century industrial period.
