Explore the fascinating world of shipboard food and enjoy flavorful bites and sips inspired by Moby-Dick, as the Seaport Museum teams up with Quick Eternity—a brand-new Seaport cocktail bar reimagining the seaside whaling taverns of Herman Melville’s classic novel.



Wander through tasting stations on deck to learn what sailors ate on long voyages, and sample modern twists on historic fare and cocktails inspired by the epic 1851 novel. Whether you’re planning a unique date night, a fun outing with friends, or flying solo for a sunset stroll through history, this evening promises great food, delicious drinks, and unforgettable vibes on the water. There’s no better way to spend a Summer evening than with a tall ship, seafood, cocktails, and a dash of literary adventure.



Advanced registration is encouraged but walkups will be accommodated as possible. Anyone ages 21 and up is welcome.



About Quick Eternity

Quick Eternity, the new modern interpretation of a seaside whaling tavern, located in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport at 22 Peck Slip. A cocktail bar inspired by Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, Quick Eternity is located in a landmarked building on a cobblestoned street and features a wealth of innovative cocktails, a menu of New England-accented small plates, and custom hand-painted murals with art and design inspired by the classic 19th century whaling epic. quicketernity.nyc



About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree

Wavertree was built at Southampton, England, in 1885 and, after a 24-year sailing career and circumnavigating the globe at least three times, is now the last remaining iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo ship. Today, Wavertree is visited by guests of all ages from around the globe and serves as the centerpiece of the “Street of Ships” at the Seaport Museum. She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1978 and symbolizes the profound influence of sailing ships, their intrepid sailors, and the bustling waterfront in shaping New York City into a modern metropolis. As a historic vessel with a fascinating past, Wavertree embodies the rich maritime heritage that played a pivotal role in transforming South Street into the vibrant heart of “Where New York Begins.” seaportmuseum.org/about-wavertree
