Recommended Posts

Philadelphia's historic ships welcome you aboard !

Open orientation meeting: April 18th; 1:00pm

Philadelphia's tallship Gazela, and the classic tugboat Jupiter invite you to join the crew of volunteers that maintain and sail these 100-year old maritime treasures. No prior experience is necessary, and their's plenty to do for folks of all interests and abilities age 18 and up. Tour the ships and hear about becoming part of the crew on Saturday April 18th at 1:00pm aboard the tallship Gazela. The ship is docked at the north end of Penn's Landing at the base of Market Street. For details call the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild at (215) 238-0280 or email pspgoffice@aol.com

Volunteer crewmembers learn the ropes and develop new skills by attending classes and helping with ship's maintenance. In summer, those drawn to the sea come aboard and sail with professional officers and a crew of dedicated volunteers as the ships visit ports and maritime festivals up and down the eastern seaboard. While some love the adventure of living history, others find enjoyment in helping to support the ship behind the scenes or sharing this living museum with the city's youth through our educational programs. All are welcomed !
