Description
Call of the Sea provides Bay Area youth an opportunity to sail traditionally rigged vessels and to learn about the marine environment as well as maritime history -- while inspiring them to be stewards of the sea and earth.
Call of the Sea is continuing the maritime history of Sausalito by building the 130 ft ship Matthew Turner . We currently offer youth marine environmental educational programs onboard Seaward, an 82 ft Schooner, on which students learn about marine ecology, maritime history and sailing. Once completed, Matthew Turner will provide additional opportunities for students of all ages to learn in a unique out-of-the-classroom environment.
