Revolutionary Voyage: Overnight

Your Experience

Step back in time to 1777 and sign aboard as privateers to deliver supplies to General Washington at Valley Forge. In this hands-on living history program, students get a taste of what life was like during the American Revolution from different perspectives. As part of their training, students participate in a battle drill against the British, as well as a variety of interactive activities, including rowing long boats, taking depth soundings, moving cargo, learning bell time and navigation, raising sail, cooking, colonial medicine, singing sea shanties, night watch and swabbing the decks. Students will be working and sleeping onboard our historic tall ship, the Spirit of Dana Point.
