The vessel was built in 1971 which would make her a mid 20th century, not 19th century as mention in the article.
Her design is from plans of schooners built in the 1800 and the materials used were those available. She is a reproduction of an 1800’s fishing schooner..
Not a replica of a fishing schooner! A replica of an 1856 America’s Cup contender, Wanderer. Really need to get this info straight guys 🙂
As a volunteer on The Pilgrim and The Spirit of Dana Point, I wish to express how totally great it is to be on and participate in the upkeep and well being of these ships. Getting to go out on The Spirit and actually sail it is another big plus, but even if I was never able to sail this great vessel, I’ve been most blessed in life by giving my time, skills and love into something so full of history, presents, and future. Being a volunteer on a Tall Ship makes you a better person!
The photo is of the Swift of Ipswich not Bill of Rights. The comment said 19th century style. Not a fishing schooner, and loosely based on Wanderer built as a cargo schooner. I was Mate on board for Vision Quest in the 90’s. A great boat and awesome deep water sailor. However, volunteering on a tallship does make you a better person
I was a mate in the 90s with V.Q. too….Where did you get on, I got on in Key West in 93
I lived on board with Captain Adam Tsapis and our daughter, I think 92/93 all east coast . Was wondering where she is these days!
Pardon me Spirit of Dana Point
