Schooner Roseway
In September 2002, just months after the World Ocean School was founded, the National Historic Landmark Schooner Roseway was donated to our organization to serve as the program platform.
After a two-year restoration of the ship, the School embarked on the maiden voyage to the Great Lakes during the summer of 2005. This voyage was a trial for the ship as well as an opportunity to build support and exposure for the developing School.
In May 2006 Roseway and the World Ocean School relocated to Boston, Massachusetts where program development continued as Roseway was open to the public for the summer season doing day sails and charters.
In November of the same year, Roseway embarked on a passage to St. Croix USVI where she spent the winter serving island students in afterschool programs and school trip programs. St. Croix has now become the new winter home port for Roseway. She still summers in the Northeast, primarily in Boston, providing education programs and day sails for the public.
