Located at City Dock—the next dock over!
Step aboard the 111-year-old fully restored schooner Adventuress for a hands-on sail on Port Townsend Bay. Experience the joy of sailing this beautiful B.B. Crowninshield-designed, Rice Brothers-built schooner.
Adventuress is owned and operated by the nonprofit Sound Experience, a WA State 501(c)(3) education organization. Adventuress is a beloved National Historic Landmark (NHL) sailing ship—one of just two NHLs still in active USCG operation on the West Coast. Since 1989, more than 50,000 children and teens have climbed aboard for day and overnight voyages on the Salish Sea. Together, they raise the massive gaff-rigged mainsail, take the helm and learn to sail a tall ship. They learn about the importance of our waterways and oceans, explore maritime careers and—perhaps most important—learn what it takes to be a shipmate.
Space is limited. For advance purchase of Adventuress tickets visit
