Pre-book your tickets today for Maritime City, a highly-anticipated forthcoming exhibition that highlights how New York City, as we know it today, arose from the sea. Throughout the extensive three-floor exhibition, objects on view underscore how the city’s identity as a global capital of culture and finance is rooted in its origins as a seaport.
Check out the recent press highlights below for a glimpse of what to expect during your visit.
Good Day New York
The Seaport Museum was featured on Good Day New York, when Museum President & CEO Capt. Jonathan Boulware welcomed Christal Young to the newly-restored A.A. Thomson & Co. warehouse for the “Taking to the Streets” segment, offering a first look at the highly-anticipated forthcoming exhibition Maritime City––now in its final stages of installation.
As explained by Capt. Boulware, the exhibition is an extension of how the “South Street Seaport Museum has been interpreting the city through the lens of its port,” and objects on view illustrate how “much of what we identify about the city can be connected to its centuries of watery connections to the rest of the world.”
