Traverse Tall Ship Company, LLC:

Tall Ship Manitou is a replica of an 1800’s “coasting” cargo schooner, similar to those that sailed the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Specifically designed for passenger service, her hull was constructed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1983 and finished by Vermont carpenters on Lake Champlain. With a 59 passenger capacity, there is plenty of space for sitting and moving around the decks while under sail. Her overall length of 114 feet, beam of 21 feet, and displacement of nearly 100 tons ensures a comfortable, relaxing motion, soothing to both landlubbers and “old salts” alike.

(Sorry for the sideways pics. Don't know what happened)

Look at you, Mister: "Attention in the Pilot House, Crow has the Helm, belay all reports..."

Love it.

[LWJ]

Sweet! What is max hull speed for Manitou?

[MRM]

Crowbob, I mean this with the greatest respect and affection, from a landlocked Midwesterner in Minneapolis, who has complete access to the Great Lakes through Lake Superior. I hate you! I am so jealous! I can't wait to replicate your journey. What you did is literally a bucket list item.

Hopefully they just let you steer and not navigate. I put the coordinates from the thread title into google maps and I end up in the parking lot for Northern Lily Massage Associates.

This summer we spent a couple days in Portland ME, and we took a 2 hour trip around the bay in a smaller schooner, first time I'd been on a boat under sail power.. I wouldn't exactly call it a bucket list item, but it is something I've always wanted to do.

Do they have television?

Little coffee on the keyboard!

Looks like a fun trip!

Hey, Sailors are known to have a need for a GOOD MASSAGE at the end of a voyage.

It's almost a tradition.

Cheers Richard

Cool trip, thanks for sharing.

Thats quite a ship, great to see things the way they were. Bet it was a hoot to sail.
