Rhode Island’s Tall Ship
Comments Off
Wednesday Nov,26. Rhode Island’s future Tall Ship, the Oliver Hazard Perry, gets towed from Newport by the tug boat Hope. The 132-foot hull will undergo major steel and mechanical work at Promet Marine Services in Providence this winter. When it is completed in 2011, the Class A Tall Ship will measure in at 207 feet and boast a majestic three-masted, square rig that stands 13 stories tall. It will be a 21st Century version of the naval vessels used in the Battle of Lake Erie, where Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry commanded a victorious fleet.
