On September 9, 2006, South Street Seaport Museum and Friends of Hudson River Park present Melville Day. This day-long event will celebrate the life and work of Herman Melville on land and sea, with a special emphasis on Melville as a New Yorker. Over the course of the day, participants will discover how New York City shaped Melville’s life, as well as the subject and content of his literary work. The day will include diverse and exciting programs, including a paddleboat ride along the Hudson River, a walking tour of Lower Manhattan, and a book talk -- all of which will focus on the connections between the history of New York and the history of Herman Melville.
