On Thursday, September 29th, the Seaport Museum will offer supporters the first opportunity to climb aboard Wavertree for a cocktail reception which will lay the groundwork for the ship’s activation as a destination and educational platform. The tall ship, built in 1885 is a testament to the hardwork of seafarers who built and then restored this magnificent ship. Raise a glass to the good ship Wavertree, the completion of the city-funded $13M dollar restoration, and to the bright future of the Seaport Museum. Join us for hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and period music from the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra. All proceeds support the Seaport Museum.

Date: Thursday, September 29th

Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm
