Tall Ships at the Ocean Institute

Pilgrim | Spirit of Dana Point | Toshiba Tall Ships Festival

Ocean Institute tall ships

A tall ship is a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail schooners, brigantines, brigs and barques.

The Ocean Institute maintains two tall ships, the brig, Pilgrim, and the Spirit of Dana Point, an accurate replica of a 1770's privateer used during the American Revolution. This year, the Ocean Institute celebrates its 24th year as host of the Toshiba Tall Ships Festival, the largest annual gathering of tall ships on the West Coast.
