MOST BEAUTIFUL TALL SHIP OF THE WORLD #2 

The story of The Pilgrim: The Brig Pilgrim was a 19th century sailing brig built in 1825 by Sprague & James in Medford, Massachusetts. She was made famous by one of her sailors Richard Henry Dana Jr., who wrote the story "Two Years Before the Mast" about a 1834-1835 voyage between Massachusetts and California to trade for hides. Richard Henry Dana, Jr., joined the crew in 1834 as an ordinary sailor for a voyage from Boston, Massachusetts via Cape Horn to California to trade for hides from the ranches around the Franciscan missions. The original Pilgrim sank off the North Carolina coast after a fire at sea in 1856. The replica (the one obviously featured in this video) began as a 3-masted schooner. She was built in 1945 for the Baltic trade in Denmark. In 1975, the Pilgrim was converted to a brig in Setúbal, Portugal. After that, she sailed around to various places. I heard tale of one sailor who was part of her crew, who said she made berth in San Francisco for a while. When she came to make her home in Dana Point, at the Ocean Institute, I do not know for sure, though I shall update this comment if I find out that information. She was used as a floating classroom with the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, and she set sail every summer on a tour of Southern California with a volunteer crew. As she got older, she was moored, and did not set sail anymore, though was still used for overnight stays and other learning experiences. The Pilgrim was also used in film as well, making an appearance in Amistad, a film directed by Steven Spielberg. The Pilgrim also played the "Ghost Galleon" in Power Rangers: Turbo. The sinking... The Pilgrim was scheduled for a repair in January 2020. The shipyard was full, so they had to push back the repair to June 2020. The US Coast Guard gave the Ocean Institute the okay to keep having programs on board the ship, deeming it safe. There was a small leak onboard the ship a few days prior to the sinking, but it was being managed with a pump. On the morning of the 29th of March 2020, she was discovered sunk in her mooring slip. Harbor Patrol, US Coast Guard, Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ocean Institute, and a commercial towing and savage company were all on hand that day to try and help stabilize the ship. After a week of extensive efforts to salvage her, she was deemed too compromised and the decision was made to demolish her. On April 10th 2020 a tugboat carrying a barge of some of the Pilgrim's demolished pieces was sailed out to sea. Many people came to pay their respects to the Pilgrim on the day of her sinking and throughout the week. The Pilgrim was deeply loved by the community, and pieces of her were saved, and are placed on display around the Ocean Institute, including part of her hull. To this day, in the Spring of 2021, her dock still remains smashed and battered, and her masts and other parts still lay in the parking lot. Seeing The Pilgrim sunk in person killed me. My entire life, I saw her pretty much once a week, if not more, standing tall and proud in the harbor. I will never forget that fateful day... March 29th 2020... I was casually scrolling through Instagram, and I saw a photo that made my hear drop and my soul leave my body. The Brig Pilgrim, the iconic ship of Dana Point, sunk in her mooring slip, laying on her side. I immediately got up and my mother and I went to pay our final respects to the ship. We even facetimed my brother. I remember exploring the pilgrim as a kid, and am one of the lucky ones who got to see her under sail many times!!! What a magnificent sight she was!!! You could pick her out from all the other ships as she was easily the most glorious!!! I can still see her ghost, sitting in her slip, tall and proud, the jewel and pride of Dana Point. Pity she had to go... You were a glorious ship, may you live forever in our memories. Overnight you sunk in the sea, but every day you sail on in our hearts. You will be missed, Brig Pilgrim.

Fun fact, Lady Washington is the ship they used for the interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean

I live in a marina (not for much longer probably) that hosts the Lady Washington and its always such a joy seeing the tall masts over on the docks a ways down when she visits town :) Hawaiian Chieftain, unfortunately, is due to depart for her original POR of Hawaii. The maritime museum that also owns the Lady couldn't afford repairs upon finding out the condition of the ship after a Coast Guard inspection. Luckily though, someone purchased it and is gonna be taking her back home after completing repairs, so I hope her career as a tall ship continues.

Thanks for showing so much beautiful sailing ships !!!

Very nice display. And double to see Ole Ironsides once again.

Had the pleasure of sailing on Bark Europa between Miramichi NB and Quebec City QC during the summer of 2017. The Europa with many other tall ships were touring the Atlantic Provinces before joining the festivities in Quebec City.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Lady Washington a few years ago!!! I think the Hawaiian Chieftain was there as well, I was just focused solely on Lady Washington lol. Fun fact: The Lady Washington played the Interceptor in Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl. And of course I have seen the Columbia, and been on it many times... But I don't regard it as a real ship, as it just goes around a track at Disneyland in the Rivers of America. Lol.

Thank you. I didn't realise there were this many sea worthy tall ships around the world. I hope you'll include the other Australian tall ships that sail including the Enterprize and Alma Dopel in following videos.

That was great!

So nice to know that such ships still goes it way and also So sad of the loss of such a history rich ships.

Some of these at the end are prime examples of what happens when you let idiots and fools manage and operate these ships. Not just anyone should be allowed to operate them.

Damn, that's just a child's dream to sail on one of these ship's... I keep on my mind the Andalucia. I saw a Galleon replica for sale recently :)

Very nice ship kruzershtein

Bellissime e affascinanti 👍😀, mancano la Vespucci e la Palinuro...

THe Tall Ship Defender was finally broken up in Townsville. Built in 1895 in Kincumber NSW I was lucky enough to work on her as 1st mate during her time in the Whitsundays.

Good 👍👍

excelente video saludos

Really beautiful ships! Great film! I like it and subscribed! See you!

Fun fact, Santa maria was a Columbus galleon or caravel that Christopher Columbus sailed through the Bahamas islands with her ships Nina and pinta the caravels and Santa Maria has the Christ of cross symbol on the sails also some videos said the Santa Maria sailed through the Bermuda Triangle because the Bermuda Triangle connects with Miami and San Jose and Bermuda also the Santa Maria then went back to Europe or he chose to stay in the Bahamas or go back to Europe also some videos say the Santa Maria sank so people find the The treasure chest of the Santa Maria deep in the water

Lots of missing beautiful ships!

seeing the Lynx out in full trim is one hell of a sight.

Incredible ⛵

Gigantic, Here is list of ships for a next episode : Af Chapman in Stockholm in Sweden, Mercator in Oostende in Belgium, Flying P-liners Peking and Passat in Germany (a must have, they were the last sailng ships able to compete with steam ships), Rickmers Rickmers in Hamburg in Germany, Alexander von Humbolt 2 in Germany, Gorch fock wich is currently being repaired ( pride of the german navy, is a training ship), Gorch fock I a different ship in Stralsund in Germany. I‘m sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of right now, i really enjoy your videos

People bringing back the old sailing ships from the Golden Age of Pirate Times.

The Libava 1:48, looks more as a prop than a tall ship.

😥 Sad to see that these last few ships are gone I remember the HMS Bounty coming to Corpus Christi I believe it was in the mid 80s such a Majestic vessel

Nice...couldn't imagine the cost and the daily maintenance to keep these massive wooden ships from aging and decaying

Fantastic!! Please, show more!! Some suggestions: Nippon Maru NRP Sagres Santa Maria Manuela Stad Amsterdam NVe Cisne Branco Esmeralda BAE Guayas Gloria ARA Libertad Nadezhda Dar Mlodziezy IBN Batuta Junk Ship Bima Suci Star Clipper STS Sedov USCGC Eagle Maltese Falcon Gorch Fork Alexander Von Humboldt Christian Radich Staatsrad Lehmkuhl

Some of these ships are just a tourist attraction, they don't even have an interior. You can only walk on the upper deck. They're like movie sets.

Omg the ending killed me....

Complimenti.

Still missing Tre Kronor af Stockholm and also freshly restored Flying P Liner Peking

That must be where , " 3 sheets to the wind " came from.

Rode on the Lynx in Cleveland Ohio at the tall ship festival. Been on the Bounty up in Cleveland also. ⚓

Amazing ships. Sad about the losses.

The ships we've lost really hit hard

I did not see the Vespucci! It's amazing.

6:30 Where did you find this video or something talking about this ship? I can't find it. Otherwise nice video.

Ships we lost: You can add the "Seute Deern" (Bremerhaven, Germany). Sank in harbour and was not repaired but broken down because of lack of funding. - There she went :(

I like seeing the ships under sail instead of being driven by motor, or being pulled by tug, or in port.

Mantap. Salam from INDONESIAN

I worked on the duyfken as shipkeeper and engineer.

it's sad seeing the "lost ships" and i did not even knew they exist ! i hope they could fix and bring back some of them !

VASA. Here's look at you Sweden. What a beauty.

Would love to see 'The Star of India' also

part 3 is now online ---> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-APYlRXUjrkY.html

Wasnt expecting to hear Two Steps From Hell here

the loss of HMAV Bounty in a strong gale few years ago was bitter, haven't realised that the Prins Willem burned down to the waterline, what a pity, I've followed with great interest her construction many years ago, does someone know about any plans to rebuild both vessels?

Magnifique !!! Marvelous !!! THANK YOU ! ^^ Please next time no music will be better than that music . . .

👍👍👍👍👍

don't forget to watch the part 1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WyVQToPwBWw.html

Navio escola sagres Caravela portuguesa Nau portuguesa All from Portugal

What a shame, that Bounty. Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous ship.. having been built in Lunenburg, of course she was.

Удачи🖐❤

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

they should make a vasa replica!

Just wondering did you ever do the Elissa from Galveston.

Where is the Speedwell???

Also missing : french frigate Hermione

Is sad at the end of the video bc it snows the ships that have sunk and it hurt when I see the ship that sunk

Viva Dewa Ruci and Bima Suci... Viva indonesia...🇲🇨✅✔✊

6.22 "Благодать" 130 пушечный 1800-14. Балтийский флот.

It would have been better without the music, but I guess the videos were made without sound!

For me Kruzenshtern is the most beautiful Tall Ship !

You missed Fragata Libertad, one of the largest and fastest tall ship!!

Those ships were used to be in war and used by pirates and british army from 17th-18th century to defend themselves from attack but one of these ships are too powerfull

Danish George Stage and Denmark

Where Dewaruci and bimasuci?

Whsts eith the pirates/ Caribbean music...

Where's Amerigo Vespucci's ship?

Wow that place looks amaze-ballz. Where was the Renaissance at ??

Didn't see USCGC Eagle, either?

It is still a pity to look at how most of these sailboats are in ports and serve as restaurants. But most of all, it's a pity when you watch one of these ships sink...

Our Earth is energy 🌍💚sustainable energy is not new time for global action nonprofit global leadership Mother Earth love sustainable technologies for all life. End the cartel end toxic fossil age before it ends us all. Thank you keep up with the good work 👏 Buzz Knapp-Fisher #buzzofftoxic 🌏

il n'y a pas l'Hermione française beaucoup de petits navires !!!! il manque les grands !!!

Too bad His Swedish Majesty's "Vasa" was such a flawed design that she sank before she left harbor. Thank you for the sensory overload.

Harbor freight

What about ITS AMERIGO VESPUCCI???

Who is this place in the first scene?

Amerigo vespucci?..... Palinuro e stella polare were is?

What about Hermione ?

What absolutely vile music, Tom and Jerry Cartoon noise..

How about the USS Constitution!

8:04 what ship is? And where is this?

Haai

So cool but not of fan of them motoring into the wind

RESPEKT!

not a single portuguese ship....

A lot of these are glorified tin cans if they have no sailing capabilities.

USS HMS DESSA L Schooner "save the best for last" owe me a ship and I'll pay yeah and the crew men in full thanks harbor master.

Navio enfeitado com neon, que vergonha!

What a travesty it is to ground or landlock tall ships. They should be made to sail free or don't waste the resources.

That is not Santa Maria ,is Nao victoria

I cannot believe that the Star of India was not included... Look up Star of India setting sail.... Then tell me why?...

What? No tall ship with a rainbow flag?

LOL There's No Indonesian ship why? lol Indonesia is a Big Navy Country

Sea Cloud.Doesnt mather 1 or 2.

With the worst music

BS ! prettiest AND BEST Tall ship ever built by anybody, anywhere is the INCOMPARABLE USS CONSTITUTION, PERIOD...AND it's still the oldest COMMISSIONED vessel afloat, and could easily kick the rest's ass at will and that's a FACT not opinion.

PORQUÊ SEMPRE CASCAS DE NÓZ E CARAVELAS DA MARINHARIA PORTUGUESA SÃO ESQUECIDAS PELA CEGUEIRA DAS POTÊNCIAS QUE FORAM NA ESTEIRA DAS NAUS PORTUGUESAS COMO CORSÁRIOS?
