IntroductionI have asked your teacher to read an introduction to you. This will explain a little about the topsail schooner called Pride of Baltimore II. Read along as your teacher reads aloud.
Pride of Baltimore II was commissioned in 1988 to serve as the Goodwill Ambassador for the state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore. It was built in Baltimore's Inner Harbor as a replica of an 1812-era topsail schooner sometimes called Baltimore Clippers. These ships helped America win the War of 1812. Pride II represents the business, tourism, and educational interests of the state. In 1998, she will sail on her first voyage to Asia with port calls scheduled in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Pride of Baltimore II makes friends for Baltimore and Maryland wherever she goes. And on this journey, you are invited to sail with her. Continue the lesson by clicking the "Ahead" button below. |
