Bermuda Sloop

Spirit of Bermuda, a Bermuda Sloop designed after an 1831 painting of a Bermuda rigged schooner in the Royal Navy, was commissioned in 2006 in Rockport, Maine and then sailed to Bermuda, her new home. She is pictured here at Tall Ships Rhode Island last July. For more information on the ship and her mission of preparing young people for life and employment, visit www.bermudasloop.org.
