Clipper City Tall Ship Tour of New York Harbor

On Mom's birthday weekend, my brother Sam, my Dad, and I surprised her by taking her on a boat called the Clipper City Tall Ship. The ship went around New York Harbor.

I liked helping to do things like putting up the sail and steering the ship. I also liked the activity book from the New York Historical Society. In the book, there is a list of things to find, a drawing game, and a quiz about the Brooklyn Bridge. On the list of things to find, there were things to find like trash, Ellis Island, and Battery Park.

During the boat ride, we saw the World Trade Center, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Battery Park. I liked seeing Ellis Island because I just studied it in school.

I liked the boat ride because I saw a lot of cool things near where I live, and I learned a lot about sailing.
