Madeline

The schooner Madeline is a 56 foot, twin-mast reconstruction of a mid-19th century Great Lakes schooner and one of the State of Michigan’s official tall ships. 

She was built between 1985 and 1990 in Traverse City, Michigan by volunteer members of the non-profit group, the Maritime Heritage Alliance. Her mission is to serve as a floating center for the interpretation of Great Lakes maritime history.

Here she is arriving at The Port of Sturgeon Bay participating in the Tall Ships Festival.
