Few
people ever have the chance to sail aboard a tall ship but the topsail
schooner Clipper City allows you to do just that! An imposing 158-ft.
long, with masts and rigging reaching up 120 feet from the deck, New
York’s largest and most elegant sailing vessel can accommodate
comfortably up to 144 passengers.
Daytime Statue Sail: Take
a step back in time on NY”s largest tall ship. From the Clipper’s
spacious main or raised quarter deck, you’ll enjoy breathtaking view of
the Statue of liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island and other gems of
the harbor.
A replica of the lumber-hauling
schooners that drove
America’s industry more than a century ago, Clipper City was built in
the
mid-1980s using plans purchased from the Smithsonian. Designed with her
new
cargo in mind (i.e. you), her decks are spacious and comfortable, with
ample
seating, a full bar amidships and a raised quarter deck back aft that
allows for
unparalleled views of the city and its harbor. |
