On this Tall Ship Tuesday, we’re looking at the anatomy of the Freedom! It’s common for guests to ask us the names of each sail, or what certain parts of the ship are called so we’ve made this handy dandy cheat sheet! And the next time you’re out on a sail with us, you’ll be a Schooner Freedom expert! ⚓️

It’s our favorite day of the week – Tall Ship Tuesday! Last week we talked about Schooners and the different types. We mentioned two-masted Schooners and three-masted Schooners, but did you know there once was a SEVEN-masted Schooner?? The Thomas W. Lawson was a seven-masted, steel-hulled schooner launched in 1902 as the largest schooner, and largest sailing vessel without an auxiliary engine, ever built. She had an overall length of 403ft, a 50ft beam, a 30ft draft, and 43,000 sq’ft of sail. While the American sailors called the sails by the days of the week, British sailors preferred to use more traditional terms. Unlike the Freedom who requires a captain and 2 crew, the TWL required 16 crew members. 💪
