Launched in Hamburg, Germany in 1911, she was used to carry manufactured goods to South America and to return via Cape Horn with nitrate. In 1932, she was retired and moored in England&#8217;s Medway River where she served for over 40 years as a boys&#8217; school under the name Arethusa. In 1975, Peking was acquired by the museum and towed to her current home at Pier 16. With a steel hull as long as a football field, and masts as tall as an 18-story building, Peking is one of the largest sailing vessels ever built and the largest preserved by a museum. Starting in the summer of 1996, visitors could see Peking&#8217;s wire rope rigging fully restored to its original condition<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#southstreetseaport July 10th 2024\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JOVT_B3PVxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The South Street Seaport @ Pier 17 has been my favored part of the city, a great place to hang out and I had my wedding banquet there too.
