Community Through Adventure

Join us for a special video featuring the stories of the people whose lives Adventure has touched. Celebrate the vessel that brings us all together. Learn how we have been navigating these uniquely challenging times and hear how we are planning for the future!

Our event premiered on July 9th at 6:30 pm. We are thrilled with the response and grateful for the participation and donations which we are continuing to accept. Watch it here!

SUPPORT US! Adventure continues to need your help. The need is ongoing to preserve and sustain Adventure so she can return to service in 2021. Your contributions will support our educational and public programming and critical vessel maintenance and preservation! You can help to ensure that our National Historic Landmark has a vibrant future!

TAKE ADVENTURE HOME

SEA READS
In an effort to provide some solace from the sea to those marooned at home, the Staff and Board of Adventure have put together a list of nautical literature. It has something for everyone, young and old, sailors, history buffs and landlubbers alike. All these books will inspire you with tales of the seven seas.

SEA SONGS
For centuries fishermen and sailors have gathered to sing. Whether to keep a rhythm for shipboard tasks or to express emotions of a seafarer away from home, music has been central to life at sea. Where do these songs take you and your family members? Give a listen and let Audi, Peter and Zinnia take you sailing.
