I clipped this from a NG I read alt.sailing.tall-ships, thought some would be interested. :)

Tall Ship 'TENACIOUS' to visit the USA for the first time!!

Hopefully the great American public will welcome the tall ship

Tenacious as much as they did the Lord Nelson a few year's back.

Crewed by both able-bodied and physically disable-bodied voyage crew

(including some in wheel chairs) the vessel is a true ocean going

sailing tall ship. Indeed she was even BUILT by disabled people under

the guidance of professional shipwrights.

So can we all really push the publicity for her first visit to the USA

to ensure that she gets a great welcome from the folks there. Maximum

publicity on the Internet and emails to local newspapers should help -

pointing out just how unique she is.

And yes, you can indeed sail on her. And this is no 'foo foo' ship

believe me!!

Here's the web site and here's the schedule:

That is a great site. I couldn't find anything about her coming to America and which ports she'll be visiting. I do hope Charelston is on her list. I'll have to keep an eye out. The picture of the girl in the wheelchair in the rigging gives me hope that one day I'll get the chance to see if I'm brave enough to climb the rigging myself. (not great with ladders and hights me own self).

Keeps us informed will you. Thanks.
