I took these pictures of the Pride of Baltimore II on April 18, 2009, during Privateer Day in the Fell’s Point neighborhood of Baltimore. I posted about Privateer Day, but it occurred to me to share these extra photos I had of the Pride.
The Pride of Baltimore II is classed as a square-topsail schooner. It was built in 1988, is 157 feet long and re-creates a Baltimore clipper of the War of 1812 period. The Pride is the goodwill sailing ambassador from the state of Maryland and the port of Baltimore, sharing the maritime heritage of the Chesapeake Bay around the world.
