The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., is offering a rare opportunity to board the 1812 top-sail schooner Pride of Baltimore II for a wine tasting from 6-8 p.m. June 22.
Commissioned in 1988, the Pride of Baltimore II is a sailing memorial to her immediate predecessor, the original Pride of Baltimore, which was sunk by a white squall off Puerto Rico in 1986. Both ships were built in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor as reproductions of Baltimore Clippers, which helped America win the War of 1812.
