Build a Baggywrinkle

  • South Street Seaport Museum, Pier 16, Wavertree Ship 89 South Street New York, NY, 10038 United States (map)

Join the Seaport Museum for an all-ages activity where you get to learn about the common ships’ tool known as a baggywrinkle––a soft covering used to protect sails from damage. You’ll get to see a real example from one of the Seaport Museum’s historic ships, and then learn how to make one!

Traditionally, baggywrinkle is made from unraveled ropes, but on weekends throughout July, you can come aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree and learn to make these important tools from scratch using colorful yarn.

Sailing Time - 11:00am to 4:30pm

Price - Free, Reservation required
