Six Rhode Island teachers and professors sailed on a five-day education-at-sea voyage to Newport aboard the 177-foot Tall Ship Gazela from her homeport of Philadelphia. This was the first public education program for the Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island (OHPRI), its aim to replicate the educational platform that Rhode Island’s official sailing education vessel, the 196-foot SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, will provide. Capt. Richard Bailey of Wellfleet, Mass., who commanded the HMS Rose, will serve as captain of the Perry. Schools represented are Salve Regina University (Newport), Paul Cuffee School (Providence), two from Chariho Regional School District (southern Rhode Island), The Greene School (West Greenwich), and Toll Gate High School (Warwick). The Gazela arrived in Newport July 5, just before the Ocean State Tall Ships Festival in Newport (July 6-9). FMI: www.ohpri.org.
