The Pride of Baltimore

Pride of Baltimore II is a reproduction of an 1812-era topsail schooner privateer - known as a Baltimore Clipper.

Commissioned in 1988 this vessel is a replacement memorial to the original Pride of Baltimore, which was tragically sunk by a white squall off Puerto Rico in 1986 takinght elives of the captain and three crew members.

Since it was launched this tall ship has sailed nearly 200,000 miles, and visited over 200 ports in 40 countries in North, South, and Central America, Europe, and Asia.

Marking her arrival with cannon fire these photos document her arrival at The Port of Sturgeon Bay last week.
