When Pride of Baltimore II is in Chesapeake Bay, school groups are invited to tour the ship while she's dockside. School Tours are conducted in all the Chesapeake Bay ports that Pride II visits - on the Eastern and Western Shores.
Schools are responsible for their own transport to the tour site.
When groups arrive at their appointed time, they are met by a Mate who welcomes them aboard and gives a brief history of topsail schooners. Then the class is divided in four smaller groups and sent to four stations around the boat. Each station is taught by a Pride II crew member. Groups rotate among the stations at the sound of the ship's bell so everyone gets to do everything and meet many crew members. Once your class has scheduled a tour through the Pride Inc. Education Office, the teacher will be sent a 25-page Orientation Booklet that has lots of background information as well as activities for before and after the tour to insure that it is a valuable learning experience.
