Activity Description
Many of the most interesting reminders of the city's rich maritime heritage are in Lower Manhattan, and a walking tour is an ideal deal way to seek them out!
From the time Henry Hudson rounded Sandy Hook in 1609 the city’s famous harbor and its shipping industry has been a major force on the rise of Wall Street and New York.
You’ll visit the Cunard Building and the Wireless Operators Memorial to those who lost their lives in the line of work when their ship went down, including the operator of the Titanic.
You’ll hear about:
Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat;
Captain William Kidd, pirate and buccaneer; and
“Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt’s rise from boatman to builder of the nation’s largest fleet of steamships and railroad empire tycoon.
Another unforgettable walking tour available exclusively through Wall Street Walks.
