Dine in relaxed elegance in the heart of the South Street Seaport. Yankee Clipper's Wavertree Room The Yankee Clipper, one of South Street Seaport's finest restaurants , recently dedicated an opulently refurbished room to honor the historic Wavertree , a tall ship now berthed just outside the restaurant's multipaned windows. The dedication of the Wavertree Room goes beyond its physical proximity to its namesake, however, for the room actually once served as the office of Baker, Carver & Morrell , general agents who represented the Wavertree in the 1800s. - VIA PORT OF NY-NJ, March 1986

And Viv Anderson of Imagination Celebration , reporting o n pl ans fo r a New York State "Scho larship at Sea" program to be conducted with NMHS in 1992, is interrupted when she call s for volunteers -by the redo ubtabl e Bernie Kl ay standin g up to lead all 120odd people in that raucous but only a llusively raunchy ditty"There's a Fire Down Below. " That's our kind of meeting ! We hope to do more of these meetings around different regions of the country, but we must walk before we run . And if you want a more deta iled accounting of the year 's doings and plans ahead , just write in fo r the Annual Report to the Members for the Yearl 989, now in the works. D
