August 22, 1pm: Chantey Sing and Sail

Embark on a musical journey through New York Harbor aboard the 1885 Schooner Pioneer with the Seaport Museum! This Launch and Learn event offers a special sea-song sing-along, featuring historical songs that were used by old-time sailors to make their work more manageable.

As Pioneer glides across the water, you’ll be treated to a round-robin of catchy rhythms, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of unfurled sails and iconic New York landmarks. This is a truly immersive experience that lets you soak in the essence of the city’s maritime history. No matter your singing abilities, all are welcome to sign up and participate in this two-hour sail. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or simply a keen listener, you’ll have the chance to lead or request a traditional maritime work song or ballad.

Sign up today to join your fellow chantey enthusiasts and newbies as we set sail for a unique and unforgettable chantey sing at sea.
