vessel.


THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED METHOD:
Park in Town Point Garage located across from World Trade Center on Main Street. Walk out of the garage
and proceed down Granby Connector to the left of the
World Trade Center. Cross Waterside Drive using the
cross-walk. There will be a clearly-marked designated
pedestrian walkway near the construction area. You can then proceed down the boardwalk to the Spirit of Norfolk. This will give you the most direct route to the Spirit of Norfolk and is our recommended method.
