Educate, inspire and empower an inclusive community that works to improve our marine environment

Youth Program Delivery The primary work of the schooner Adventuress is its on-the-water programs for children and teens from schools and youth groups throughout the Puget Sound region (and beyond). This year, some 1,297 youth participated in more than 10,014 hours of shipboard education on Salish Sea environmental stewardship, exploration of maritime career paths and maritime skills training. Partnerships with West Sound Technical Skills Center on the Kitsap Peninsula, Port of Seattle, and Tacoma Community Boat Buildings are working to ensure that young people from diverse backgrounds are getting the opportunity to explore maritime career opportunities under the guidance of experienced shipboard crew and educators.

Public Access to National Historic Landmark Through a robust Membership program that is priced affordably for families and individuals, the organization strives to make its National Historic Landmark (NHL) ship available to the public. Members sail for free on all Public Sails and other members of the public can purchase single-use tickets. The 1913 133-ft Adventuress is one of only two NHL sailing ships still in active operation as a USCG-licensed commercial vessel on the West Coast. This year, more than 1,173 youth and adults climbed aboard for 3-hour Public Sails or visited during dockside tours, where they raised the sails, took the helm and sailed as they did a century ago.
