Sad news from the Palmetto State. The South Carolina Maritime Foundation plans to try to sell the schooner Spirit of South Carolina to pay off its mounting debts.  The foundation is reported to be being sued by a bank and a former landlord for more than $2 million in loans and thousands of dollars in back rent. Since 2007, over 9,500 students have participated in educational programs on the schooner.  See our previous post  – Spirit of South Carolina Tall Ship program.
