From the Tall Ship Unicorn info sheet: Built in 1947 as a fishing trawler, this Dutch-built beauty has a rich history and is strong with a soul all her own. In December of 2003, the schooner completed a bow to stern refit, giving her a beautiful, bright maple interior and a rechristening to her original name, Unicorn. In the summer of 2005, Unicorn was granted a Jones Act Waiver to become a United States registered vessel and she proudly flies the American flag off her stern. This same year, co-owner Dawn Santamaria founded Sisters Under Sail, a not-for-profit on-board leadership program for teenage girls and women. Sisters Under Sail and her all-female professional crew charter Unicorn each summer sailing New England, Canadian Maritimes and the Great Lakes.
