Pride of Baltimore II
The Pride of Baltimore II will dock in Alexandria this fall.
For three days, from Oct. 21 - 23, the tall ship will visit Alexandria and allow visitors to board free of charge. Details about reservations, times and more will be available at pride2.org/come-aboard closer to the ship's arrival.
"Pride of Baltimore II set sail as the goodwill ambassador for the state of Maryland in 1988. She was built to continue the mission of her predecessor, Pride of Baltimore, tragically lost in a storm in the Atlantic Ocean in May 1986," according to the ship's website.
Pride of Baltimore II is a Baltimore Clipper topsail schooner. Like the original Pride of Baltimore, it is modeled after the Chasseur, built in 1812.
Alexandria's own tall ship, Providence, has spent much of its summer at The Wharf in the District, while a new permanent dock is under construction for it in Alexandria.
Pride of Baltimore will dock at Providence's old dock near the Alexandria Seaport Foundation at the southwest end of Founder's Park.
