The story of The Pilgrim:
The Brig Pilgrim was a 19th century sailing brig built in 1825 by Sprague & James in Medford, Massachusetts. She was made famous by one of her sailors Richard Henry Dana Jr., who wrote the story "Two Years Before the Mast" about a 1834-1835 voyage between Massachusetts and California to trade for hides.
Richard Henry Dana, Jr., joined the crew in 1834 as an ordinary sailor for a voyage from Boston, Massachusetts via Cape Horn to California to trade for hides from the ranches around the Franciscan missions. The original Pilgrim sank off the North Carolina coast after a fire at sea in 1856.

The replica (the one obviously featured in this video) began as a 3-masted schooner. She was built in 1945 for the Baltic trade in Denmark. In 1975, the Pilgrim was converted to a brig in Setúbal, Portugal. After that, she sailed around to various places. I heard tale of one sailor who was part of her crew, who said she made berth in San Francisco for a while. When she came to make her home in Dana Point, at the Ocean Institute, I do not know for sure, though I shall update this comment if I find out that information. She was used as a floating classroom with the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, and she set sail every summer on a tour of Southern California with a volunteer crew. As she got older, she was moored, and did not set sail anymore, though was still used for overnight stays and other learning experiences. The Pilgrim was also used in film as well, making an appearance in Amistad, a film directed by Steven Spielberg. The Pilgrim also played the "Ghost Galleon" in Power Rangers: Turbo.

The sinking...

The Pilgrim was scheduled for a repair in January 2020. The shipyard was full, so they had to push back the repair to June 2020. The US Coast Guard gave the Ocean Institute the okay to keep having programs on board the ship, deeming it safe. There was a small leak onboard the ship a few days prior to the sinking, but it was being managed with a pump. On the morning of the 29th of March 2020, she was discovered sunk in her mooring slip. Harbor Patrol, US Coast Guard, Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ocean Institute, and a commercial towing and savage company were all on hand that day to try and help stabilize the ship. After a week of extensive efforts to salvage her, she was deemed too compromised and the decision was made to demolish her. On April 10th 2020 a tugboat carrying a barge of some of the Pilgrim's demolished pieces was sailed out to sea. Many people came to pay their respects to the Pilgrim on the day of her sinking and throughout the week. The Pilgrim was deeply loved by the community, and pieces of her were saved, and are placed on display around the Ocean Institute, including part of her hull. To this day, in the Spring of 2021, her dock still remains smashed and battered, and her masts and other parts still lay in the parking lot.

Seeing The Pilgrim sunk in person killed me. My entire life, I saw her pretty much once a week, if not more, standing tall and proud in the harbor. I will never forget that fateful day... March 29th 2020... I was casually scrolling through Instagram, and I saw a photo that made my hear drop and my soul leave my body. The Brig Pilgrim, the iconic ship of Dana Point, sunk in her mooring slip, laying on her side. I immediately got up and my mother and I went to pay our final respects to the ship. We even facetimed my brother. I remember exploring the pilgrim as a kid, and am one of the lucky ones who got to see her under sail many times!!! What a magnificent sight she was!!! You could pick her out from all the other ships as she was easily the most glorious!!! I can still see her ghost, sitting in her slip, tall and proud, the jewel and pride of Dana Point. Pity she had to go...

You were a glorious ship, may you live forever in our memories. Overnight you sunk in the sea, but every day you sail on in our hearts. You will be missed, Brig Pilgrim.

I live in a marina (not for much longer probably) that hosts the Lady Washington and its always such a joy seeing the tall masts over on the docks a ways down when she visits town :)

Hawaiian Chieftain, unfortunately, is due to depart for her original POR of Hawaii. The maritime museum that also owns the Lady couldn't afford repairs upon finding out the condition of the ship after a Coast Guard inspection. Luckily though, someone purchased it and is gonna be taking her back home after completing repairs, so I hope her career as a tall ship continues.

Fun fact, Lady Washington is the ship they used for the interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean

[johngray]

Wonderful vessels, I have fond memories of the tall ships race coming into Leith Harbour many years ago. I was a console controller at Leith Harbour office at the lock gates. All the berthing was planned by Captain Dave Sinclair, he was very good at this. I remember the atmosphere was electric, over the week the ships were there, so many people enjoying themselves. ❤❤❤❤❤

[baileypaliolonga]

I had the pleasure of seeing the Lady Washington a few years ago!!! I think the Hawaiian Chieftain was there as well, I was just focused solely on Lady Washington lol. Fun fact: The Lady Washington played the Interceptor in Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl.

And of course I have seen the Columbia, and been on it many times... But I don't regard it as a real ship, as it just goes around a track at Disneyland in the Rivers of America. Lol.

[redbikerdude]

Thank you. I didn't realise there were this many sea worthy tall ships around the world. I hope you'll include the other Australian tall ships that sail including the Enterprize and Alma Dopel in following videos.

[TheBruteOne]

the loss of HMAV Bounty in a strong gale few years ago was bitter, haven't realised that the Prins Willem burned down to the waterline, what a pity, I've followed with great interest her construction many years ago, does someone know about any plans to rebuild both vessels?

[maximusmeridio]

Bellissime e affascinanti 👍😀, mancano la Vespucci e la Palinuro...

[germanion]

Gigantic, Here is list of ships for a next episode : Af Chapman in Stockholm in Sweden, Mercator in Oostende in Belgium, Flying P-liners Peking and Passat in Germany (a must have, they were the last sailng ships able to compete with steam ships), Rickmers Rickmers in Hamburg in Germany, Alexander von Humbolt 2 in Germany, Gorch fock wich is currently being repaired ( pride of the german navy, is a training ship), Gorch fock I a different ship in Stralsund in Germany. I‘m sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of right now, i really enjoy your videos

[caleb_güero]

Some of these at the end are prime examples of what happens when you let idiots and fools manage and operate
these ships. Not just anyone should be allowed to operate them.

[glezielbalahadia]

Fun fact, Santa maria was a Columbus galleon or caravel that Christopher Columbus sailed through the Bahamas islands with her ships Nina and pinta the caravels and Santa Maria has the Christ of cross symbol on the sails also some videos said the Santa Maria sailed through the Bermuda Triangle because the Bermuda Triangle connects with Miami and San Jose and Bermuda also the Santa Maria then went back to Europe or he chose to stay in the Bahamas or go back to Europe also some videos say the Santa Maria sank so people find the The treasure chest of the Santa Maria deep in the water

[jhare]

So nice to know that such ships still goes it way and also So sad of the loss of such a history rich ships.

[adamast]

The Libava 1:48, looks more as a prop than a tall ship.

[jonathangarciayolmedo]

Damn, that's just a child's dream to sail on one of these ship's... I keep on my mind the Andalucia. I saw a Galleon replica for sale recently :)

[I_live_in_your_walls.]

The loss of The Prins Willim. Made me cry. Such a big and beautiful ship gone up into flames.

[tankacebo]

seeing the Lynx out in full trim is one hell of a sight.

[JohnnyIbbs]

Nice...couldn't imagine the cost and the daily maintenance to keep these massive wooden ships from aging and decaying

[bobeden]

THe Tall Ship Defender was finally broken up in Townsville. Built in 1895 in Kincumber NSW I was lucky enough to work on her as 1st mate during her time in the Whitsundays.
