The Pride of Baltimore

[Roger Long]

I'm bumping this up from out of another thread because I think some people here might be interested in reading about my involvement with the Pride of Baltimore and the aftermath of her capsizing. It's long but quite interesting.

Baltimore in Superior..

Thanks for the post-- I stumbled on the Baltimore at Stockton Island last summer (Lake Superior Apostle Islands) and spent an hour sailing around it, getting a close look--talked to crew, and then watched it hoist sails and head off into the sunset.. very cool.

Nice story Roger. An artist friend of mine gave me a beautiful pastel sketch of The Pride of Baltimore. I will always cherish it!.......Mulldog47

A few years ago, my wife bought me the gift of sailing as "guest crew" aboard the Pride of Baltimore II. It was great fun to take the helm of this boat, raise/lower sail, stand watches, and generally do what the paid crew does aboard this beautiful boat. I recommend such a trip to all.
