Families and guests of all ages can step aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree and discover the timeless maritime skills sailors have relied on for centuries-then put those new talents to the test with fun, hands-on activities right on the ship’s main deck.

Learn how to coil a line to keep the deck safe and ropes tangle-free, follow 3D models to master a sailor’s knot that’s strong yet easy to untie, and try your hand at lassoing a bitt, just like sailors do to secure a ship in port. This experience brings history to life while letting families play like a true mariner.

This activity will be offered Saturdays and Sundays from October 4 through October 19. Access to Wavertree involves climbing a few stairs, walking up an angled gangway, and descending a few stairs onto the deck. The lower decks are accessible via stairs, while the upper deck requires navigating steep ladder-like stairs.
