- California travel expert Veronica Hill tours the Brig Pilgrim tall ship at Ocean Institute Dana Point in this episode of "California Travel Tips."
Maritime coordinator George Mack offers an overview of the tallship, which is anchored in Dana Point Harbor. The ship is a replica of that made famous in "Before the Mast" by Richard Henry Dana. On weekends, the tall ship crew dresses in character, offering a living history look at life on the ship.
The Ocean Institute is also home to the annual Toshiba Tall Ships Festival each September, which is the largest West Coast gathering of tall ships. The tall ship festival features a tall ship cruise on the Brig Pilgrim and Spirit of Dana Point.
Tall ship sailing is offered every weekend aboard the Spirit of Dana Point. The Spirit also offers extended tall ship cruises to Catalina for snorkeling excursions.

My rack on the USS Forrestal was about the same size. There were three racks from floor, deck, to ceiling. We were packed in as tightly or more so. Lots has been learned about disease and hygiene, so no hot racks!
I agree! Thanks so much for commenting on the video. Take care, Veronica
Very interesting, and makes it easier to visualize what Dana is talking about in the book, which I'm reading now.
Hope you enjoy it! It's a very cool ship. Be sure to visit on the weekend, as it's only open to schools during the week. Have fun!
Yes, it's a great experience for kids. It actually sails occasionally. Would love to see that!
So, this is the Pilgrim! I am reading Dana's Two Years Before the Mast and seeing the actual ship ( well a reproduction) is a treat. I must get down to Dana Point and walk aboard!
me and my bros had a field trip here when we were in forth grade and we coiled rope raised a sail and lifted a 160 pound barrel. we toured the ship too it was fun this reminded me of it
You're probably right! The ship has been here for a while. I think they have a really great program here for students. Hoping my kids can do it one day!
Came here to remember this ship. She sank at her moorings on 3/29/2020 and could not be salvaged. Brig Pilgrim, 1945-2020
Such sad news to me. I helped rerig her in 1977 at the Proctor and Gamble wharf Long Bch CA. I lived aboard her for 3 years.
How can a “brig” also be a “three-masted schooner”? (!)
Amen to that. Sadly Pilgrim sank yesterday. A reporter on the story also referred to her as a schooner. ????
I miss Dana Point 😭
I’m from the future. The Pilgrim sank today, March 28, 2020.
Yeah, sadly. In addition to this narrator, a reporter on the loss story referred to her as a schooner. What is with these guys/gals?
RIP Pilgrim :’(
Next year - 2011 Tallship Challenge returns to the West Coast. Look for all the great ships that venture out as ambassadors to this wonderful world of history.
You can sail on her if you volunteer and put in enough hours. We muster every Saturday at nine. Come join us. We're getting ready to take her out for this year's sail, leaving on the 25th of August and returning on September 6. This is my fourth sailing season. It's an incomparable experience. Don't worry if you don't know how to sail. We'll teach you everything you need to know.
I'm going in two days YAY
@MrLxmarshall Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun! What a cool field trip!
Hated this field trip
@CaliforniaTravelTips yeah my teacher told us about that :D when i was in forth grade
@1seahunt3 That sounds like so much fun!
@blackheartedpearl Awesome!
It sunk today 🤧
@bellazutube How fun! Did you do the overnight stay?
F
Sadly, Pilgrim sunk yesterday. RIP. Why do these reporters and narrators refer to this brig as a schooner???
Haunted Ship “COPY” Brig PilGRIM finally sunk in its mooring due to possible years of neglect. RIP 🪦 Dana Point aka Davy Jones’ Locker 🏴☠️ ☠️💀👻
