ABOUT THE RACHEL B. JACKSON:

Her sturdily built mahogany planking, oak frames, pine decks, shining brass fittings and exotic wood cabinetry recall the workmanship of days gone by. She gives her passengers the rare opportunity to experience an authentic vessel of another era. She was originally put into service as a training vessel at Mystic Seaport.

The Schooner is a member of the American Sail Training Association, a non-profit organization devoted to the development and promotion of sail training and education under sail.

Our mission is to encourage character building through sail training. Different from learning to sail, sail training enables learning from sailing. We provide opportunities to people of all ages and walks of life to study the marine arts and sciences, explore blue horizons, and make history come alive. Each year we introduce thousands of individuals to sail training as various schools, municipalities, museums, and other non-profit organizations incorporate the powerful ability of the sea to teach in their curricula.
