Ship starbound
She was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989. She was restored in 1991 and is currently certified by the US Coast Guard as a Sailing School Vessel training and working museum ship. In 1968, she was sold to the South Street Seaport Museum and refinished. Howard spent a significant portion of her working life off the Yucatan Peninsula coast. This type of craft was commonly used by American offshore fishermen. She is a wooden Fredonia schooner built in 1893 in Essex, Massachusetts, USA. Howard, in partnership with the South Street Seaport Museum, is SALTY’s newest ship to sail in its programs. Golden Goose also received major refitting which also included all new “standing and running rigging” and is now in “Bristol Yacht” condition!Ībove: The Lettie G Howard under sail on the bay.īelow: The crew at rest and unfurling the sail. In February of 2015, Starbound gained a “little sister” with the acquisition of GOLDEN GOOSE, a beautiful traditional wooden 50-foot George Stadel schooner, built in 1975 and generously donated by a RI family. She is in “Bristol Condition”, with the exception of her original masts and bow sprit which have just been rebuilt! She has all new “blocks” along with new “standing and running rigging” as well.Ībove: The Golden Goose’s stern showing it’s name.īelow: The Golden Goose’s helm and under sail.

Joshua’s son, Victor Slocum participated in the development of STARBOUND’s lines and plans. STARBOUND, a beautiful 72-foot traditional wooden sailing ketch, was SALTY’s first ship originally built in 1950 and was based on Joshua Slocum’s 36-foot SPRAY, made famous by completing the world’s first solo circumnavigation in 1898. STARBOUND, SALTY’s flagship, made the 225-mile voyage from northern Maine to Greenwich Bay to begin its new mission as a platform for youth education and adventure.
