History
Built in 1924, Pilot is one of just a few surviving Grand Banks style schooners and an eligible candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally commissioned by an American syndicate as a racing vessel to compete with the fastest sailboats in the world, she was later purchased by the Boston Harbor Pilotage and put into service for over fifty years, becoming the longest-serving pilot ship in the American history. She is one of two surviving racing schooners built to race the infamous International Fisherman’s Cup.
