Visit the 1885 tall ship Wavertree, where you can discover the traditions of the area’s indigenous people and play the same games that were enjoyed here long before the city we know today.

Family-friendly activities include Selahtinalìtin (sˈɛlɑːtˌɪnɐlˌɪtɪn): a scattering straws game similar to Pick Up Sticks or Jackstraws, and Mamantuhwin (mˈæmɐntˌuːwɪn): a dice-and-bowl game possibly named after the whirligig beetle. Experience the excitement of these traditional games and connect with the history of Lenapehoking, the land and water now known as South Street Seaport.
