After Show and Tell with the NYC Urban Sketchers Suzala and I decided to stay for one more sketch. We headed don on the pier and sat in the shade facing The Ambrose, a historic lighthouse ship from 1908. She was a floating lighthouse used to guide ships safely from the Atlantic Ocean into Lower New York Bay.
The South Street Seaport was the meetup spot for the NYC Urban Sketchers on Saturday. There is a lot there to sketch, both modern and historic. I started at Peck Slip and South Street where there was an abundance of flowers decorating the Paris Café. The restaurant wasn't open for lunch so no customers were sitting outside. It is part of an old building in what was a bustling port in the early days of NYC. Ships regularly docked along the wharves and some are still there today.
