The South Street Seaport is a historic area in the New York City borough of Manhattan, located where Fulton Street meets the East River. The Seaport was heavily damaged in 2012 in Super storm Sandy. Many of the businesses closed and the remaining businesses suffered from a severe drop in business after it.

After the storm, this whole place has become dead place. The South Street Seaport Museum re-opened in December 2012 with three floors of galleries in Schermerhorn Row and 16 historic and contemporary installations interweaving the city, the sea, and the Seaport neighborhood.

Also welcoming the public once again are the lightship Ambrose, with a brand-new hull, and schooner Pioneer, with new sails and a new transmission—as well as the 19th-century letter press print shop Bowne & Co., Stationers the museum's new galleries include a battalion of model ships, antique shipping tools, and left-of-center shows covering anything from New York fashion to contemporary photography.

Exhibitions display models of past and current ships, narrate tales of maritime life and culture and explore the rich history of New York Harbor. Adventures types can climb aboard the Peking, one of three stationary ships, and experience the daily life of sailors at the turn of the century. The Seaport is also a popular location for many of Manhattan’s entertainment and cultural events.
