Hi Joey,
I walked to the end of Rocky Neck on Tuesday and found the Schooner Roseway hauled up on the rails. She sailed into the harbor on Columbus Day. She’s pretty easy to identify under sail due to her dark red sails. The crew members that I spoke to told me that they’ll be here about a month before they set sail for their home port in Saint Croix, USVI.
The Roseway is owned and operated by the World Ocean School, who uses the vessel as a base for their educational programs that are designed to educate, inspire and encourage the value of teamwork. They offer Summer Day Programs for kids in Boston & multiday expeditions worldwide. When in Saint Croix, weekly academic programs that focus on math, science, language and history are offered to junior high school students. She was built in Essex at the James’ Shipyard and has a wonderful history which you can read through here: http://www.worldoceanschool.org/all-about-roseway/roseway-history
Enjoy!
