Pride of Baltimore II is a globally recognized sailing ambassador of Maryland. Built and launched on the shore of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in 1988, Pride II is a reproduction of the sharp-built Baltimore Clippers of the late 18th century and early 19th century. She is a working symbol of the fast, sleek vessels that gained fame as privateers during the War of 1812.

Today, twelve crewmembers live onboard and operate the ship in the same way sailors would have over 200 years ago, preserving a maritime tradition unique to the Chesapeake Bay. Pride promotes historical maritime education, fosters economic development and tourism, and represents the people of Maryland in ports throughout the world. She was built to continue the mission of her predecessor, Pride of Baltimore, tragically lost in a storm in the Atlantic Ocean in May 1986.

Pride II is regularly open to the public offering deck tours, day sails, and overnight sailing opportunities at ports throughout the Chesapeake Bay and North America. Since her launch more than three decades ago Pride of Baltimore II has sailed over 275,000 nautical miles to more than 200 ports in over 40 contries in Asia, Europe, and North, South, and Central America.

The vessel’s route, timing, & sails set will be dependent on the wind & weather. You can track PRIDE as she travels by going to pride2.org/pride-of…/pride-ii-is-underway/.
