Celebrate Father’s Day by embarking on a family adventure or come solo to broaden your own horizons.

As you sail on the historic 1885 schooner Pioneer you will be invited to take part in the experience by hauling on ropes to raise the sails; studying the ecology of the estuary; measuring water characteristics that are critical to the ecosystem, such as salinity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen; and examining seaweeds and other plants, as well as a variety of small organisms including plankton. You’ll also learn how to use a chart and compass to navigate.

Advance reservations are recommended. seaportmuseum.org/pioneer-program-sail
