The last schooner built on the beach in Nevis

It owes its name to one of the founding fathers of the United States, who was born in Charlestown itself. The construction was carried out using local materials and traditional techniques, with hand tools, just a few steps from the birthplace of its namesake.

The boat is currently undergoing a restoration program led by a heritage foundation whose mission is to "restore heritage, transmit know-how, and open up futures through Caribbean maritime history." It is not available for charter during this phase.
