Charleston Maritime Center will host the National Historic Landmark Schooner Roseway on November 5-7, 2008. Roseway, berthed at the Center’s southern pier, will be open to the public for free tours from 10am to 6pm on each day. Come visit this historic ship during her post stop in Charleston on her way south for the winter season. Meet her crew and hear about the educational programs that take place aboard Roseway.
Founding Directors Abby Kidder and Captain Dwight Deckelmann will be aboard to talk about the 83-year-old Grand Banks schooner and World Ocean School’s educational programs along the east coast and the Virgin Islands. Some parents might be interested to know that next summer Roseway will be taking students for 2-week sailing internships to live aboard the boat, participate in community service activities and attend tall ship festivals. Additionally, we always welcome the chance to share the history and story behind the restoration of the National Historic Landmark.
