August 21 | 6:30pm | Wavertree | $20
Come aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree to enjoy a delightful evening of New York City trivia with the Seaport Museum and the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). Prepare to immerse yourself in an enthralling exploration of the city’s history as you engage in a friendly competition against professional tour guides and devoted trivia aficionados.
Bring your family and friends to form your own team of 4–6 people, or come solo and get paired with a group of fellow trivia buffs. Our hosts, professional tour guides and GANYC members, Gary Dennis and AJ Stevens, will take the helm and guide us through a series of questions about New York History with many focused on Lower Manhattan and the South Street Seaport Historic District. Beyond the thrill of victory, each member of the triumphant team will be awarded a prize!

Please note that access to Wavertree for this event involves climbing a few stairs, walking up an angled gangway, and descending a few stairs onto the deck. The lower decks are accessible via stairs, while the upper deck requires navigating steep ladder-like stairs.

About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree
Wavertree was built at Southampton, England, in 1885 and, after a 24-year sailing career and circumnavigating the globe at least three times, is now the last remaining iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo ship. Today, Wavertree serves as the iconic centerpiece of the bustling waterfront that shaped New York City into a modern metropolis.
