The Compass Rose

The Compass Rose, will begin sailing again April 5, 2014, with At The Dock Tours, a fun and and educational tour of the famous Compass Rose and learn about the history of the ship and of sailing in the 1800's.

This all wooden brigantine  has plied the oceans, sailed alongside other tall ships been in movies, documentaries, books and song. Visit and you become part of her lore!  The Compass Rose was built in 1968 as a Replica 1860's Wooden Brigantine Privateer.  She is double hulled mahogany over white oak ribs with an impressive 60' length overall and 46' at the water line.  She has a mere 6.5' draft, in order to maneuver in shallow waters and tight spots.  This enabled ships of her kind to be faster and head into places their foes could not - great for blockade running!​

 In addition to Dock Tours, the Compass Rose is available for Private Sails, Moonlight Sails and Historic Day Sails.  Step back to a simpler, quieter time when tall ships harnessed the wind. Take an elegant excursion and enjoy adventure sailing 1800's style!
