At 200 feet and with 17 professional crew plus a capacity for 30 students each session, the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is the first ocean-going full-rigged ship to be built in the U.S. in 100 years and the largest civilian sail training vessel in America.

Students will take the helm of the 500-ton Tall Ship, learn to work as a team with others as they hoist and brace the yards on the 130-foot tall rig, and apply acquired seamanship and navigation skills to guide the ship’s course on a voyage of discovery. In addition, they will witness the natural magic of the ocean and its inhabitants—think spectacular night skies, marine phosphorescence, whales breaching, and dolphins at play! Block Island, Cuttyhunk, Dutch Harbor, Vineyard Haven, Isle of Shoals, Provincetown, Gloucester, Monomoy Island & Newport are among the historically rich ports the ship will visit.
