Description

VIRGINIA is a reproduction of the last all sail vessel built for the Virginia Pilot Association. The original ship sailed for the pilots from 1917-1926, training apprentice pilots in seamanship and navigation. The reproduction, built in Norfolk between 2002-2004, is also used as an educational platform. Her programs include courses in maritime history, marine science, maritime literature, and team-building for both students and adults. The ship has sailed as far south as Trinidad, east to Bermuda, north to Prince Edward Island, and all along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Sailing on Virginia is truly an incredible experience. There are also loads of events shore-side during Downrigging, including concerts, lectures, exhibits, and more. Make a weekend of it! See the Downrigging section of our website for details. Please Note: The cancellation/refund policy for Downrigging Weekend is different from a traditional Sultana Public Sail. Please note the cancellation policy when you complete your purchase.
