Portrait of the sailing ship:
Last update: 08 Jan 2023
- looks like a Revenue Cutter from about 1850.
- opereated by Coastwise Packet Company since 1963, sailed with passengers for hire.
- today she often sails with youngsters of the southern New England coast, where everybody gets involved in sailing and cleaning the ship or with older people to whaling or privateering ports ('sail training and windjammer cruises').
- registered as a passenger vessel, has to pass regular US Coast Guard inspections.
- Coastwise Packet Company has been adopted by the company "The Black Dog" thus renaming the company "The Black Dog Tall Ships".
- donated to Foundation for Underway Experiential Learning (FUEL) in Vineyard Haven/USA in 2020, use for youth voyages and sail training.
- repairs at the hull and of the stern at Mystic Seaport Museum's Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard in winter 2020 and 2021.
