These ships were known for their speed and were used for smuggling. The ship is 118 feet long with a rig height of 100 feet… and 5\,000 square feet of sail! \nIt was Dennis Holland’s dream to build an accurate replica from the period when America fought for independence. Armed with talent\, determination\, little money and plans he purchased from the Smithsonian Institution\, he laid the keel in his Orange County yard on May 2\, 1970. Thirteen years later\, this fast privateer was launched and continues to sail the ocean. Everywhere you look on board is the craftsmanship and pride of early America. \nFormerly the Pilgrim of Newport\, the re-named Spirit of Dana Point is an excellent teaching platform where students directly experience life at sea as it has been for hundreds of years.  The 118-ft. schooner is used for living history and at-sea maritime programs throughout the year. \nThe Spirit of Dana Point is also available for public and private charters\, coastal sails\, corporate team building\, and filming opportunities. \nFor private charters\, events or wedding onboard the Spirit of Dana Point please e-mail: events@oceaninstitute.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.

These ships were known for their speed and were used for smuggling. The ship is 118 feet long with a rig height of 100 feet… and 5\,000 square feet of sail! \nIt was Dennis Holland’s dream to build an accurate replica from the period when America fought for independence. Armed with talent\, determination\, little money and plans he purchased from the Smithsonian Institution\, he laid the keel in his Orange County yard on May 2\, 1970. Thirteen years later\, this fast privateer was launched and continues to sail the ocean. Everywhere you look on board is the craftsmanship and pride of early America. \nFormerly the Pilgrim of Newport\, the re-named Spirit of Dana Point is an excellent teaching platform where students directly experience life at sea as it has been for hundreds of years.  The 118-ft. schooner is used for living history and at-sea maritime programs throughout the year. \nThe Spirit of Dana Point is also available for public and private charters\, coastal sails\, corporate team building\, and filming opportunities. \nFor private charters\, events or wedding onboard the Spirit of Dana Point please e-mail: events@oceaninstitute.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.

From touching sea stars to observing majestic marine mammals for the first time; spending the night under the stars on our Surf Deck or awakening a child’s curiosity aboard our tall ship\, Spirit of Dana Point\, our work changes the way children see themselves and their world. \nCan you pinpoint a moment in your life that changed everything? \nOcean Institute does not simply change a day in a child’s life\, we change the perception of what life has to offer. Experiences\, possibilities\, educational pathways\, career options\, and an individual’s power to support a healthy environment are broadened in a matter of hours through sophisticated resources\, a stunning location\, and our talented and passionate staff. \nThis model of engagement is an expression of support from the community. Since 1977\, our generous philanthropic and corporate neighbors have enabled life-changing moments for well over 1 million students!  \nWe humbly invite you to join with us and our rich history of supporters in creating the moment that changes everything! \n \nDr. Wendy Marshall \nPresident and CEO URL:https://stage.oceaninstitute.org/event/speakeasy-circus-the-2nd-annual-seacret-soiree/ LOCATION:Ocean Institute\, 24200 Dana Point Harbor Dr\, Dana Point\, CA\, 92629\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz Festival END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240323 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240324 DTSTAMP:20260620T143117 CREATED:20231030T200258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240215T234355Z UID:45507-1711152000-1711238399@stage.oceaninstitute.org SUMMARY:Closed for General Admission DESCRIPTION:We are closed for General Admission.
