Directions to the Ship...
THE LIBERTY FLEET OF TALL SHIPS' Main Office is located on historic Long Wharf. Our blue ticket booth is on the left side of the Aquarium Plaza (as you face the Aquarium) next to their Whale Watch ticket booth.
Long Wharf is an extension of State Street at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and State Street. To reach the Liberty Fleet office, walk past the Long Wharf Marriott toward the water. After the Chart House Restaurant, the office is on the first floor of the last building on Long Wharf, just past the main entrance to the building. Look for our sign “Boston’s Tall Ships” hanging over the # 67 doorway. (Telephone: 617-742-0333)
