The seaport is often a destination for ships to visit, so one never knows who might be visiting on any given day. The Argo is a two-masted staysail schooner built to accommodate 26 student crew and seven professional staff. Launched in 2006, she's 112 feet long and weighs 148 tons. She is operated by a university program that takes students around the world while studying nautical and marine sciences. Sounds like a great way to spend a college semester.
A truly impressive sailing ship. My college did not offer such a program, but I would have loved spending a semester sailing around the world.
