As the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry enters its final phrases of construction, the nonprofit organization Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island has made its yearend priorities: create two fundraising opportunities and develop the education programs that will be the core of the tall ship when it is completed in 2013. Several generous grants and donations have helped keep the ship’s construction and outfitting on track at Senesco Marine in North Kingstown, and two experienced professionals – Captain Richard Bailey, as the ship’s master, and Jessica Wurzbacher, as the Education Director – have been added to the OHPRI staff. OHPRI Chairman Bart Dunbar said the goal is to move the tall ship to Newport for a dedication on July 6, 2013, and continue working toward having the ship Coast Guard inspected, certified and operational for the bicentennial of the Battle of Lake Erie on Sept. 10, 2013. OHPRI’s fundraising efforts are rapidly progressing. An anonymous benefactor has come forward with two levels of challenge grants that either double or increase by 50 percent certain monetary amounts donated toward the OHPRI project, but in order to qualify, they must be donated by year’s end. The ships Education-at-Sea Program will provide an ocean-oriented approach for supporting and enhancing academic achievement in STEAM courses (science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics); leadership development; and career pathway exploration. Salve Regina University is among the first of several interested educational institutions to reserve specific dates for an education-at-sea session. The tall ship is the first full-rigged ship to be built in the U.S. in over 100 years. In the spring, summer and fall months, the ship generally will sail as far north as Nova Scotia and as far south as South Carolina, while in the winter it will be based in Florida and the Bahamas. It has capacity for up to 36 students on overnight trips and up to 85 for day trips, with 13 professional crew aboard and handicap-accessible berths available. Scheduling options range from day sails to overnight, week-long and three-week voyages to full semesters at sea. For more information, visit OHPRI.org.
