A 'Ghost Ship' Is Coming To The Delaware Riverfront In October

PHILADELPHIA — A haunting art installation is coming to the Delaware River in time for the spookiest time of year.

Starting Oct. 4, visitors of the Race Street Pier will find a "ghost ship" moored off of the pier from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The "ship" is a new art installation from Biangle Studio, which create a three-dimensional light and water-based installation called "Ghost Ship."

"Ghost Ship" is inspired by the nuanced and complex history of the Delaware River in the 1700s and is modeled after 18th-century ships.

Visitors can take a self-guided audio tour along Race Street Pier into the landscape and social history of the Delaware River as they experience "Ghost Ship."

The recorded reflections of local experts and artists speak to the river’s importance to Philadelphia with diverse stories from before colonization to present day.

Race Street Pier is located on North Christopher Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia.
