A recreation of the Chebacco boats and the pinky schooners of New
England of the early 1800's, Resolution is based in Annapolis,
Maryland and sails the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Resolution
is operated by Ship's Company,
a maritime living history not-for-profit which provides period-dressed
docent support for numerous historical sites and maritime events in the
Baltimore/Washington/Annapolis region.
Ship's Company members portray circa 1800 Navy and Marines, Civil War
Navy and Marines and singing Chanteymen. The Boat Group, established in
1999, is the newest venture.
Resolution is a Class C tall ship and combined with historical
re-enactors can be engaged for dockside interpretation of circa 1800
(1775-1825) shipboard life and tours within a day or two sail of
Annapolis, Maryland. Resolution is supported by Ship's Company's
other vessels... Circuitous, a 1937 sloop and Enterprize
Jollyboat, a 14-foot recreation of ship's lapstrake.
Resolution and her crew can interpret a wide variety of periods.
However, her baseline representation is as an 1800 pinky schooner taken
up by the early United States Navy, as an armed tender despatch schooner
supporting the USS ENTERPRIZE. Ship's Company supports the activities of the
National Maritime Heritage
Foundation to build and operate a full-scale representation for youth
education in Washington, D.C.
Ship's Company and Resolution are members of the American Sail Training
Association. This webpage is a slight adaptation of the Resolution
entry in their 14th edition (2002) tall ships catalog "Sail Tall Ships,"
available for $14.95 from Ship's Company, our London Town homeport's
gift shop, or ASTA direct.
