The district features some of the oldest buildings in Lower Manhattan, and includes the largest concentration of restored early 19th-century commercial buildings in the city. This includes renovated original mercantile buildings, renovated sailing ships, the formerFulton Fish Market, and modern tourist malls featuring food, shopping, and nightlife.
The first pier in the area appeared in 1625, when theDutch West India Company founded an outpost there.[2] With the influx of the first settlers, the area was quickly developed. One of the first and busiest streets in the area was today'sPearl Street, so named for a variety of coastal pearl shells.[3] Due to its location, Pearl Street quickly gained popularity among traders.[4][5] The East River was eventually narrowed. By the second half of the 17th century, the pier was extended to Water Street, then toFront Street, and by the beginning of the 19th century, toSouth Street.[2] The pier was well reputed, as it was protected from the westerly winds and ice of theHudson River.[3][6]
In 1728, the Schermerhorn family established trade with the city ofCharleston, South Carolina. Subsequently,rice andindigo came from Charleston.[7] At the time, the port was also the focal point of delivery of goods fromEngland. In 1776, during theAmerican Revolutionary War, the British occupied the port, adversely affecting port trade for eight years. In 1783, many traders returned to England, and most port enterprises collapsed.[2] The port quickly recovered from the post-war crisis. From 1797 until the middle of 19th century, New York had the country's largest system of maritime trade.[2] From 1815 to 1860 the port was called the Port of New York.
On January 5, 1818, the 424-ton transatlantic packetJames Monroe sailed fromLiverpool, opening the first regular trans-Atlantic voyage route, the Black Ball Line.[11] Shipping on this route continued until 1878.[12] Commercially successful transatlantic traffic has led to the creation of many competing companies, including theRed Star Line in 1822.[13][14] Transportation significantly contributed to the establishment New York as one of the centers of world trade.[2]
The Fish Market during theGreat DepressionThe port in the late 1970s
One of the largest companies in the South Street Seaport area was theFulton Fish Market, opened in 1822.[15] The Tin Building opened within the market in 1907; it is one of two remaining structures from the market and the only one that is officially designated as a landmark.[16] In 2005, the market moved toHunts Point, Bronx.[17][18]
In November 1825, theErie Canal, located upstate, was opened.[19] The canal, connecting New York to thewestern United States, facilitated the economic development of the city.[20][21] However, for this reason, along with the beginning of the shipping era, there was a need to lengthen the piers and deepen the port.[22]
On the night of December 17, 1835, a large fire in New York City destroyed 17 blocks,[23] and many buildings in the South Street Seaport burned to the ground. Nevertheless, by the 1840s, the port recovered, and by 1850, it reached its heyday:[2]
Looking east, was seen in the distance on the long river front fromCoenties Slip to Catharine Street [sic], innumerable masts of the many Californian clippers and London and Liverpool packets, with their long bowsprits extending way over South Street, reaching nearly to the opposite side.[24]
The first Fulton Market burned down in 1878 and was replaced with a red-brickVictorian building four years later.[15]
At its peak, the port hosted many commercial enterprises, institutions, ship-chandlers, workshops, boarding houses, saloons, and brothels. However, by the 1880s, the port began to be depleted of resources, space for the development of these businesses was diminishing, and the port became too shallow for newer ships. By the 1930s, most of the piers no longer functioned, and cargo ships docked mainly on ports on theWest Side and inHoboken.[3] The second Fulton Market was demolished in 1951 and replaced with a utilitarian building.[15] By the 1960s, the oldWard Line docks, comprising Piers 15, 16, and part of 17, were mostly vacant.[25]
Part of Schermerhorn Row, early 19th-century mercantile buildings
Peter Stanford and his wife Norma cofounded the Friends of South Street in 1966.[26] The next year, Peter began advocating for the creation of a museum around South and Fulton streets.[25][27] The museum was tentatively planned to include a rigger docked permanently at Pier 16, as well as a series of buildings in a three-block area around South, Fulton, Front, and Beekman streets. At the time, theNew York State Legislature had already passed legislation to permit a museum onSchermerhorn Row, near South and Fulton streets.[25] The newly-formedSouth Street Seaport Museum met in June 1967 to discuss the plans, which city officials viewed as a long-shot proposal due to the large number of approvals and permits required.[28] TheTitanic Memorial, formerly mounted atop theSeamen's Church Institute building nearCoenties Slip, was gifted to the museum in 1968,[29][30] though the memorial would not be dedicated for another eight years.[31]
Meanwhile, the museum's supporters bought up property surrounding Schermerhorn Row and the Fulton Fish Market. By 1968, Stanford and his associates had discovered that real-estate developers were buying up some of the property that the museum wanted to acquire, with the intent of demolishing these buildings.[32] The museum also began obtaining vessels with the acquisition of theLightshipAmbrose, the fishing schoonerCaviar,[33] and the iron-hulled shipWavertree.[33][34] The restoration was planned to cost $20 million by 1969, at which point the museum was to cover 8.5 acres (3.4 ha).[27] by then, the museum owned four ships and had a small exhibit space.[28] Restoration of the first building officially began on May 15, 1969.[35][36] After theNew York City Planning Commission approved the South Street Seaport Museum's plans for the site the same month,[37] the museum's sponsors acquired two blocks of Schermerhorn Row that July.[38] Atlas-McGrath, which had wanted to redevelop Schermerhorn Row, eventually agreed to give the buildings to the museum in exchange for the sites'air rights.[39] However, the museum had to spend millions of dollars in legal fees related to Schermerhorn Row.[40]
By the early 1970s, the Seaport Museum operated an exhibit hall, a bookstore–art gallery, piers 15 and 16, and six ships.[41] The museum regularly hosted cultural events at the seaport,[42] includingsea shanty songs[41][43] and miniaturefolk festivals.[44] The museum had a half-million annual visitors, and Friends of the South Street Seaport had grown to include 17,000 members.[42] In March 1972, city mayorJohn V. Lindsay and state governorNelson Rockefeller announced that the Seaport would be expanded to 33 acres (13 ha) as part of the construction of Manhattan Landing, a $1.2 billion development on the East River shoreline.[45][46] There were plans for the Seaport to include several additional museums, stores, hotels, and a functional shipyard.[41][42] The City Planning Commission approved Manhattan Landing that May[47][48] and voted to create a special planning district for the Seaport the next month.[49][50] Despite the approvals, the Manhattan Landing project had stalled by 1975.[51]
The city acquired four blocks of the Seaport area in July 1973, while the Seaport Museum continued to operate these sites under aleaseback arrangement. This enabled the city to sell the blocks' air rights to theNew York Telephone Company, which was erecting a skyscraper nearby.[52] That October, the museum announced that it would renovate three blocks of the Seaport;[53] this was part of a restoration that was planned in advance of theUnited States Bicentennial.[54] Stanford left the Seaport Museum in 1976.[40] The museum's leadership, which by then had barely enough money to keep the Seaport buildings in good shape,[55] decided to seek a commercial partner to help them redevelop the South Street Seaport.[40][56] The city government, which had recently recovered froma fiscal crisis, would not be eligible for loans from many banks, requiring the involvement of a private developer.[56] In December 1977, the Seaport Museum andBaltimore-based real-estate developerThe Rouse Company each agreed to spend $250,000 on a feasibility study for a possible redevelopment of the Seaport area.[57]
For Fulton Market: In operation For Pier 17 and the Tin Building: Defunct; Tin Building dismantled
TheSouth Street Seaport Festival Marketplace is a downtownfestival marketplace at the South Street Seaport, and it once consisted of threeshopping malls: thePier 17 Pavilion which also included an office building (closed in September 2013 for redevelopment), the renovatedTin Building (relocated and rebuilt since September 2022), and the fourthFulton Market Building. As of January 2026, the Fulton Market is the only Rouse structure still in operation at the area, as Pier 17 was razed and the Tin Building was dismantled and reconstructed.
Subsequently, in June 1980, theNew York City Board of Estimate gave city officials permission to request a $28 million federal grant for the redevelopment.[62] The Board of Estimate approved the commercial-district plan that November,[63][64][65] despite concerns over substantial rent increases and a lack of public access.[66] At the time, it was expected to cost about $203 million[56] or $211 million and create 4,600 jobs.[64][65] Key components of the proposal included a 242,000-square-foot (22,500 m2) commercial, hotel, and office building,[64] as well as a new Fulton Market building covering 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2).[66] That December theUnited States Department of Housing and Urban Development approved a $20.45 million grant for the project.[67]
Though some local business owners had concerns that they would be forced out due to rent increases,[55][56]Kenneth Schuman, the New York City Commissioner for Economic Development, said the project "would allow New Yorkers to rediscover the long-obliterated, but historic, link between the city and its waterfront".[63] Developers began converting two buildings in the Seaport district into residential structures in 1981,[68] and the Board of Estimate gave final approval to the project that October.[69] By that year, the Seaport Museum had spent $9 million on ship restoration in the preceding twelve years.[70] Seaport Museum subsidiary South Street Seaport Corporation took a 99-year lease on the site in 1982[71] and became the Fulton Market's landlord.[72][73] Also in 1982, the museum acquired 285 mid-20th-century Van Rypership models and archival materials fromCharles King Van Riper's son, Anthony K. Van Riper.[74]
The Pier 17 Pavilion during 18th annual Fleet Week
For the redevelopment into afestival marketplace, The Rouse Company formed the subsidiarySeaport Marketplace, Inc. The first phase of the South Street Seaport redevelopment was completed on July 28, 1983,[15][61][75] covering four blocks of the South Street Seaport U.S. historic district.[60][76] This project included construction of the fourth Fulton Market Building, a three-story building designed byBenjamin C. Thompson,[15][75] with about 95,000 square feet (8,800 m2) of space.[77] The project also included a renovation of 14 buildings in the South Street Seaport Museum and 12 buildings in Schermerhorn Row.[60] Within a few months of its completion, the first phase of the redevelopment was credited with helping attract commercial activity to the area.[78] The second phase was to include another structure on Pier 17 with 120,000 square feet (11,000 m2).[77] The Pier 17 Pavilion opened on September 11, 1985;[79] the original Pier 17 Pavilion included anoffice building and a three-story,Victorian-style red shopping mall, a structure that combined Piers 17 and 18, housing approximately 120–150 shops and restaurants. The Pier 17 Pavilion was also designed by Benjamin Thompson and developed by The Rouse Company, and its design is comparable to Harborplace,Jacksonville Landing in Jacksonville, andBayside Marketplace in Miami. The Pier 17 Pavilion was also referred to asPier 17 Mall orThe Mall at South Street Seaport.[80]
After the Pier 17 Pavilion was completed, it initially suffered from low patronage,[71] but it was approaching full occupancy by early 1986.[81] The city government also allocated $500,000 for repairs to Pier 15 to make it suitable for commercial ferry service.[82] By the late 1980s, aGallup poll had found that the South Street Seaport was the tourist attraction that New York City residents favored the most.[83] Nonetheless, visitation continued to be lower than expected, and The Rouse Company announced plans in 1988 to rebuild some of the retail space.[84] In 1989, the New York City government made an agreement with developers Metropolis Group and N. M. Palermo Inc. to redevelop a block on Front Street.[85][86] The 170,000-square-foot (16,000 m2) project was to include ground-level shops, offices, and apartments.[86] A 4-to-6-story hotel on Front Street was approved later that year.[87] Milstein Properties, which also wanted to develop a high-rise building at250 Water Street near the Seaport, repeatedly submitted plans for that site in the late 20th century without success.[88]
The Seaport Museum ceded the Fulton Market to the city government in 1993, citing difficulties in collecting rent,[72] and most of the Fulton Market's tenants were forced to leave after their leases expired.[89] The Tin Building was severely damaged in a 1995 fire.[90] The Fulton Market building was almost entirely vacant by the late 1990s.[40][89] At that point, most of the small businesses in the Pier 17 Pavilion had been replaced withchain stores for financial reasons, and there were only a few maritime stores even though the Seaport was required to promote tenants who sold "maritime and sea-related activities and products".[40]
Following several attempts to redevelop 250 Water Street,Manhattan Community Board 1 voted in favor of rezoning the South Street Seaport in 2002, restricting the area to lower-density development.[91] In addition, the South Street Seaport Museum built its first permanent-exhibition space,[92] which was part of a $21 million renovation of Schermerhorn Row.[93] In 2004,Chicago-basedGeneral Growth Properties (GGP) acquired The Rouse Company, as well as all of its assets, including the South Street Seaport.[94] The Fulton Fish Market moved from the Seaport toThe Bronx in 2005,[95][96] at which point the neighborhood was being redeveloped as a residential area.[97]
By 2007, GGP wanted to redevelop South Street Seaport as an upscale shopping area to cater to the growing local population.[98] GGP proposed a mixed-use tower and a community center on the Fulton Market site, but it withdrew these plans in early 2008 following community objections.[99] In June 2008, GGP proposed replacing the Pier 17 Pavilion with a 42-story tower, several two-story store buildings, and a 4-to-6-story hotel designed bySHoP Architects.[100][101][102] To make room for the tower, the Tin Building would have been relocated.[100] This plan also faced opposition from local residents and elected officials,[102][103] and theNew York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, which had to approve changes to the Tin Building and other landmarked structures on the site, rejected the plans in November.[104] GGP placed the South Street Seaport for sale in late 2008,[105] although it is unclear whether the company actually intended to sell the complex.[106] GGP filed for bankruptcy in 2009,[107][108] and the next year, it agreed to transfer South Street Seaport and other properties to a subsidiary.[109] The Seaport was thus taken over by theHoward Hughes Corporation,[109][110] which paid $305 million to lease the site.[95] After Howard Hughes took over the Seaport, GGP's original development plans were canceled.[108]

The interior of the Pier 17 Pavilion in 2010
The South Street Seaport Museum closed in March 2011,[111] having owed $3 million and being 10 years behind on rent payments.[111][112] After theLower Manhattan Development Corporation gave the museum $2 million,[113][114] it reopened in January 2012 following a three-month renovation.[115]
In July 2012, it was confirmed that the promenade the Pier 17 Pavilion sits contained highly flammable construction. While the mall did have afire sprinkler system, the pier was built primarily in wood, and the mall likely containedasbestos due to being almost 30 years old. Specifically, on July 14, 2012, a three-alarm fire broke out due to an electrical failure underneath the pier from faulty wiring,[116] sending plumes of smoke over Lower Manhattan and up to the Pier 17 Pavilion, highlighting the mall's vulnerability. The Pier 17 Pavilion was also crowded with shoppers when the fire began, and staff members did not pull fire alarms, instead yelling "Fire!". The pier itself has also been neglected; it was reported to be sinking into the East River, making continued use of the Pier 17 Pavilion and the pier unsafe. Rebuilding the pier alone would cost over $120 million.[117]
TheMuseum of the City of New York (MCNY) also agreed to operate the Seaport Museum.[111][113] TheHoward Hughes Corporation announced plans that August 2012 to redevelop Pier 17,[118] and it also exercised an option to redevelop the Tin Building and Fulton Market Building.[119] Howard Hughes' Pier 17 redevelopment was part of a broader $785 million plan for the Seaport,[120][121] which was to include seven commercial and entertainment buildings.[122]
DuringHurricane Sandy in late October 2012, many of the businesses closed, and the remaining businesses suffered from a severe drop in business after the storm.[123][124] The Seaport Museum reopened in December 2012,[125] but the museum's galleries on Fulton Street were forced to close in 2013.[126] The Pier 17 Pavilion was heavily damaged with electrical failures and structural problems, though the pier itself was found to be in decent condition.[124][127] The plans to merge MCNY and the Seaport Museum were also canceled.[128]
In November 2012, the Pier 17 Pavilion was cited as a "dead mall", as while some businesses did reopen after Hurricane Sandy, the majority of them never reopened due to major damage.The New York Times described the mall as a "dated festival marketplace" in late December 2012. The Pier 17 Pavilion was also described as a "tourist trap".[127]
The city government approved the redevelopment of Pier 17 in February 2013.[129]
The Pier 17 Pavilion was fully vacated and closed permanently at 9 p.m. on September 9, 2013, and was demolished starting in early 2014 and being completed by late 2014. Long-time tenants likeUno Pizzeria & Grill were also forced out to allow for construction.[130]
Reconstruction of Pier 17 broke ground in October 2013.[119][131] That November, SHoP Architects announced plans for a 50-story tower on Pier 17.[132] The proposed tower was downsized following community opposition,[90][133] and continued opposition to the tower caused the Seaport's redevelopment to be stalled.[134] TheFederal Emergency Management Agency gave the Seaport $10.4 million in 2015 to repair damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.[135] That December, the Seaport tower was canceled due to continued community opposition.[136] As a result of the development plans, theNational Trust for Historic Preservation placed the Seaport on its 2015 list ofAmerica's Most Endangered Places.[137]
The iPic theater opened within the Fulton Building in 2016,[138][139] becoming the first long-term tenant to move in after the Seaport's redevelopment.[121]
A new four-story structure on Pier 17, designed by SHoP Architects,[140] opened in July 2018;[141][142] the Pier 17 project had cost $425 million.[143][144] At the time, Howard Hughes wanted to redevelop the Seaport into a tourist destination, with attractions such as a food market, movie theater and rooftop concert venue and event space.[110][145]
In 2018, the city government approved the demolition of a vacant Fulton Market building, which had been built in 1939 and was extremely decrepit.[146]
In addition, the Tin Building was dismantled and relocated slightly,[16][110] and a 53,000-square-foot (4,900 m2) food hall was built there.[147][148] During that decade, Howard Hughes also proposed redeveloping the long-vacant site at 250 Water Street.[149]
The bandRilo Kiley performs at the Rooftop at Pier 17 in September 2025, with theEmpire State Building visible in the background.
The Tin Building's food hall, operated byJean-Georges Vongerichten, opened in late September 2022[150] at a total cost of $200 million. The new building was raised in response to damage to the original structure by Hurricane Sandy.[147] Howard Hughes hiredJones Lang LaSalle (JLL) in 2023 to lease out the storefronts that it owned along South Street.[148][151] Howard Hughes proposed transferring the South Street Seaport's operations to a new subsidiary, Seaport Entertainment Group, the same year;[152] the split was approved in July 2024.[153] Marvel Architects andBeyer Blinder Belle redesigned the A. A. Thomson & Co. Warehouse at 213–215 Water Street, renovating it for the South Street Seaport Museum in 2025.[154] By the same year, many of the shops in the Tin Building's food hall had closed;[155] in addition, the 250 Water Street development had been placed on hold.[156][157] The surrounding area had also become more residential.[157] There was a proposal in mid-2025 to add a glass canopy to Pier 17, converting it into a year-round entertainment venue,[158] but plans for the canopy were later canceled.[159]
TheSouth Street Seaport Museum was formed as anonprofit organization to redevelop the area,[37] first convening in 1967.[28] Designated by Congress in 1998 as one of several museums which together make up "America's NationalMaritime Museum", South Street Seaport Museum sits in a 12 square-block historic district that is the site of the original port of New York City.[163] As of 2025[update], the museum spans across the Schermerhorn Row buildings, several other structures on Fulton Street, the A. A. Thompson Warehouse, and Pier 16.[164] The Museum has over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) of exhibition space and educational facilities. It houses exhibition galleries, a working 19th-century print shop, an archeology museum, a maritime library, a craft center, a marine life conservation lab, and the largest privately owned fleet of historic ships in the country.
LV-87 is a lightship 135 feet (41 m) long and 29 feet (8.8 m) wide, built inCamden, New Jersey, in 1907. It was stationed at the entrance toAmbrose Channel and became the third lightship there since 1854. In 1932 the ship was replaced by the newLV-111 ship and moved to the Scotland Station. LV-87 was retired in 1966 and sent to the South Street Seaport in 1968. In 1989 it gainedNational Historic Landmark status.
The fishing schooner was launched inEssex, Massachusetts. The vessel is 125 feet (38 m) long overall and 21 feet (6.4 m) wide. The schooner was used for fishing mostly off the coast ofYucatan. In 1989 it was given National Historic Landmark status.
The schooner was launched inMarcus Hook, Pennsylvania. Initially, it was rigged as asloop, but in 1895 it was rerigged as a schooner. The vessel is 102 feet (31 m) long. Its hull was originallywrought iron but was rebuilt in steel in the 1960s. It was used for transportation of various goods: sand, wood, stone, bricks and oyster shells. Now it is used for educational tours ofNew York Harbor.
The 52 foot (16 m) steam tug was built inLong Island City,Queens and first named Russell I. Subsequently, the engine was replaced by a 175 horsepower (130 kW)diesel engine. In 1986 the boat was transferred to the South Street Seaport museum. In 1996 it was entered in theNational Register of Historic Places.
The ship was launched inSouthampton. It is 325 feet (99 m) long including spars and 263 feet (80 m) on deck. The ship is the largest remaining wrought iron vessel. Initially it was used for transportingjute from eastIndia toScotland, and then was involved in thetramp trade. In 1947 it was converted into a sandbarge, and in 1968 it was acquired by the South Street Seaport Museum. In 1978 the ship was entered in the National Register of Historic Places.

The museum's collection also contained the four-mastedbarquePeking from 1974 until 2016, when the ship was given to theGerman Port Museum in Hamburg, Germany.[170] ThesidewheelerAlexander Hamilton was shipped to the Seaport in 1972 for use as a restaurant barge,[171] was never used for that purpose and later acquired by a New Jersey organization.[172]
Peck Slip, which occupies the area between present-day Water and South streets, served as an active docking place for boats until 1810, and even served as a temporary hideout for George Washington and his troops in April 1776 when they fled from theBattle of Long Island. Then, in 1838, the first steam-powered vessel to make a transatlantic voyage, theS.S. Great Western, docked in Peck's Slip to the cheers of a quickly growing crowd of onlookers.[173] Today, the median of the street serves as an open space for the community with Brooklyn Bridge views, often displaying public art installations and gatherings, such as fairs and concerts.[174] Peck Slip is also home to the neighborhood's K-5 elementary school The Peck Slip School, P.S. 343,[175] as well as a post office.[176]
Pier 17 was reconstructed in the 2010s and reopened in July 2018.[141][142] The modern-day Pier 17 was designed bySHoP Architects. It is variously described as having 212,000 square feet (19,700 m2)[122] or 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2),[140][148] spread across four stories.[177][148] Sports broadcasterESPN opened a radio and television studio at Pier 17 in April 2018,[178][179] covering 21,000 square feet (2,000 m2).[180] Pier 17 also includes different restaurants on its lower stories;[181][182] these eateries are scattered across 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) floor slabs with movable large glass partitions that can be closed during inclement weather.[183] On the roof is The Rooftop at Pier 17, a 3,500-capacity open-air concert venue that hosts summer concerts between May and October.[184] The rooftop space, covering 60,000 square feet (1.4 acres; 5,600 m2), is open throughout the year and is decorated with a large artwork designed byAchim Menges.[121][185]
The Fulton Building includes the iPic theater, which includes eight auditoriums.[138][139] Each of the auditoriums has between 43 and 143 seats,[139] including a group of two-person pod seats in each auditorium.[138]
A regular ferry service, theFulton Ferry, ran between Pier 16 and theFulton Ferry pier in Brooklyn until 1924.[190] In 1973, the South Street Seaport Museum proposed operating a ferry service from the seaport to Brooklyn.[191]New York Water Taxi directly serves South Street Seaport on Fridays, weekends, and holidays during the summer, while other New York Water Taxi,NYC Ferry, andSeaStreak ferries serve the nearbyferry slip atPier 11/Wall Street daily.[192]
After Pier 17 reopened in 2018, a writer forThe Telegraph wrote that the South Street Seaport retained its original charm despite the redevelopment.[144]Justin Davidson ofCurbed wrote in 2025 that the Seaport was not only vulnerable to economic changes but also "suffers from a chronic sense of not being real", in spite of the various redevelopment proposals throughout the years.[156]
An 11-block swath of the South Street Seaport is designated as a city historic district.[195][196] The original district, bounded by John, Front, Pearl, Dover, and South streets and piers 15 through 17, was designated by theNew York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1977;[197] however, the landmark designation did not prohibit high-rise buildings from being constructed in the area.[198] Block 106 (between Peck Slip and Water, Dover, and Pearl streets) was initially excluded from the district, as it was set aside for redevelopment;[176] the historic-district designation was expanded to this block in 1989.[199]Schermerhorn Row, which is part of the South Street Seaport Historic District, was separately designated as a city landmark in late 1968.[32][200] A larger area is listed on theNational Register of Historic Places as well[201] as both theSouth Street Seaport site (#72000883) andSouth Street Seaport Historic District (#78001884).[1]
