Over the course of Pilot‘s nearly 100 year history, she’s led many lives: as a contender to be the fastest sailboat in the world, as the country’s longest serving pilot ship, as a ferry for soldiers in World War II, and as a research vessel that circumnavigated the world twice. Currently, Pilot, a 147-foot long schooner, is a seasonal oyster bar located in Brooklyn, NY.
Shenandoah, a 152-foot long schooner built in 1964, has been a fixture of the coastline of Southern New England, most recently sailing out of Martha’s Vineyard carrying students on weeklong educational voyages. Her owner, Bob Douglas, donated her to the Foundation for Underway Experiential Learning (FUEL) whose mission is to “help youth thrive through high-adventure learning.”
Please meet shortly before 1 p.m. in the Museum Store, located adjacent to the South Entrance to the Museum.
