The Gloucester Adventure
Mission:
The mission of The Gloucester Adventure, Inc. is to:
-Restore and preserve the Schooner Adventure for the enrichment of future generations and their love of the sea
-Enable the Schooner Adventure to serve as a community resource for educational programming focusing on maritime, cultural, and environmental issues
-Operate the Schooner Adventure at sea as a living symbol of America’s maritime heritage
About:
The Gloucester Adventure, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit maritime historic preservation and educational organization. We are the stewards of the 1926 dory-fishing Schooner Adventure. Our mission begins with restoration and preservation in perpetuity of the National Historic Landmark Schooner Adventure, one of the last surviving Grand Banks dory-fishing schooners. The Schooner Adventure is a national treasure that has resumed active sailing as an icon of the American fisheries and as a floating classroom for maritime history and environmental education programs. The Schooner will be operated at sea, primarily along the New England coast, as a living monument to Massachusetts’ fishing heritage. As such, the Schooner Adventure is important not only to Gloucester, but also to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all America.
