Spirit of the Seaport: A Victorian Haunting at South Street Seaport Museum

Join The South Street Seaport Museum, October 20th aboard our favorite ship Wavertree, to relive a time in the late Victorian period when people were drawn towards the paranormal, supernatural, and occult, of which the most popular forms included mesmerism, clairvoyance, thought-reading, and above all, Spiritualism, a belief that the dead communicate with the living.

Enjoy a champagne greeting as you board downtown’s Victorian era cargo sailing vessel and step into another time as magicians, mentalists, and tarot readers peek into the future while conjuring up the past. Listen to a live band perform jazz and ragtime music of the late 1800s; witness an authentic recreation of a Victorian séance in the spooky captain’s saloon; and sip on signature Seaport cocktails, beer, and wine throughout this most devilish affair.

Date: Friday, October 20th

Time: 8:00p

Location: 89 South Street – Pier 16

Fee: $75

Age(s): 21+

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.
