Say hello to Roland! He's been an aficionado of Oliver Hazard Perry for years, and today he and his caregiver Randy were able to get on board for a private tour. A big thank you to our welcoming crew for safely and energetically getting Roland up on deck and to the helm. A great start to the week!

It's impossible to put into words how much our donors and supporters mean to our organization, but last night we sure tried! Thank you to our Afterguard members who came aboard for a cocktail reception last night. A beautiful sunset, great food, and fun music made for the perfect night!

Headed to the Newport International Boat Show this weekend? Be sure to get on board Rhode Island's Sailing School Vessel!

Or, come say hi at our booth at Bowen's Wharf during the 2nd annual Newport Wooden Boat Show! It's going to be a great weekend and we can't wait to see you!

Wow - we are over the moon for this photo by Mark Dalmeida Photography! Always fun to see photos of the ship, day or night.

Thank you to The Providence Journal for coming on board this past weekend at Fort Adams State Park and chatting with our crew, office staff, and former trainees! We love seeing everyone and sharing our stories when docked in our Newport home!

A hearty Q&A with our ship's chef, Donna, is now on the blog. Super trainee Hannah cooked up some questions about what it's like to feed 30 people on sometimes-rocky seas. Just like Donna's food, the answers certainly aren't bland!

Still looking for something fun to do this holiday weekend? Come aboard Oliver Hazard Perry for free deck tours from 1pm - 4pm both Saturday the 2nd and Sunday the 3rd at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI. See what 7 miles of rigging and 20 sails on a 13.5 story tall square-rigged ship looks like in person! See you this weekend!

Setting sail for our fourth day of afternoon programs. Almost 200 of our Afterguard members, as well as generous donors and supporters have gotten on board to see the ship in action. Thanks for a wonderful few days and your continued support!

Rhode Islander Isabel Marsh is taking painting classes at Newport Art Museum this summer and chose Oliver Hazard Perry as her muse today. Not too bad of a model if you ask us - thanks, Isabel!
