| Description | The topsail schooner PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II is a reproduction an 1812-era Baltimore Clipper, patterned after and named for the legendary Baltimore built topsail schooner CHAUSSER, which was sailed by the famous privateer Thomas Boyle. The Chasseur was known as the "Pride of Baltimore". PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II was built with the same slim, sleek hull shape and sharp rakish silhouette as her predecessors; echoing the spirit of initiative and enterprise embodied by the citizens of young America. Constructed using traditional 19th century boat-building techniques, PRIDE II is framed in tropical hardwood, with plankings made of Maryland white oak, and masts, spars and deck made from Douglas Fir. The ship was launched in 1988. PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II is operated by Pride of Baltimore, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. PRIDE of BALTIMORE II has appeared in television and motion picture productions, including "Amistad" (1997). | |||||||||||||
