Nave Amerigo Vespucci will be visited in New York for three days, during his stop at Pier 86, in the Hudson River Park area, next to the Intrepid Museum. Visits on board are scheduled on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 July from 12 to 17.30, with last entrance at 17, and Tuesday 7 July from 12 to 14.30, with last entrance at 14. Access is free, but not free: you must register in advance through the portal indicated on the official website of the Tour Vespucci, which refers to the reservation system of the Intrepid Museum. The seats are limited and the same organization states that the reservation does not automatically guarantee access, because security checks, queues and capacity limits remain possible on the pier.
The presence of Vespucci in New York is part of the Sail4th 250 program, one of the initiatives organized for the 250th anniversary of the United States. From 4 to 8 July the port of New York and New Jersey will host dozens of great sailing ships and military ships from different countries, with public events, on-board visits and a great parade on the Hudson. The Vespucci will be moored in one of the most important points of the New York waterfront, Pier 86, the same of the museum from the carrier Intrepid: in those days that stretch of Manhattan will become one of the main places of the naval celebration, and the Vespucci will play a leading role.
The Marina Militare school ship was launched in 1931 in Castellammare di Stabia and is still used today for the formation of official students. It is 101 meters long, has three trees, over 2,600 square meters of sails and an ordinary crew of 264 soldiers, which during the training campaigns increases with the students of the Naval Academy. Visits to New York will not be guided, but the public can follow a route on board and talk to the crew members.
