Liberty Clipper is a 125 ft (38.1 metre) tall gaff-rigged schooner ("tall ship") named after the sloop John Hancock used for smuggling tea into Boston before the American Revolution.
Built to exacting specifications with 3 head sails (jibs), a fore sail, and a main sail based on designs for real privateers, the Liberty Clipper lets guests imagine what sailing into Boston Harbor on a tall ship 250 years ago might have felt like. People can choose from several different types of tall ship cruises offered throughout the summer and early fall in Boston Harbor.
