Walk the Plank for a good cause!

The Compass Rose was built in 1968 as a Replica 1860's Wooden Brigatine Privateer.  She is a double hulled Mahogany over White Oak ribs with an impressive 60' length overall and 46' at the water line.  Owners Ron and Tammie Odom brought the Compass Rose to Lake Texoma in late 2012 where a special dock was built at Grandpappy Point.  The Compass Rose is available for Private Sails, Tours, Special Events and Weddings. 

One of the main purposes of the Compass Rose's existence on Lake Texoma is to educate children about the great tradition of sailing.  The ship serves as a floating "school."  They teach not only about the ship, but about the world she encountered in the 1860's as well as what she taught modern ships.  Truly fascinating for kids and adults as well!
