These exhibits collectively weave the compelling narrative of the city's history, spotlighting its pivotal role as a global port, bustling trade hub, and vibrant intersection of cultures and commerce. Visitors can meander along picturesque cobblestone-lined streets, surrounded by meticulously preserved early 1800s architecture, while enjoying stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights from the pier. The museum also offers interactive printing demonstrations using antique presses from its collection. A must-see is the Wavertree, the last remaining three-masted, iron-hulled tall ship, where visitors can explore its impressive iron structure throughout the ship's hold.
