Amazing Grace is a 83' topsail schooner based out of San Diego Bay in Southern California and Gig Harbor, WA. Like other schooners, Amazing Grace is the traditional American sailing craft. These 'tall ships' fought the British in the War of Independence and again in 1812, both as ships of the U.S. Navy and as privateers. Today we see them in adventure films, advertising, and where tall ships gather. Sail into a harbor on Amazing Grace and watch the heads turn as people see and hear echoes of the past.
"All I ask is a tall ship to sail and a star to steer her by."
- John Masefield
