Tall Ship S/V Denis Sullivan

The S/V Denis Sullivan was sold by Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Discovery World Museum to Boston, Massachusetts’ World Ocean School at the end of 2022.

As of 7/3/2023 the ship’s Facebook page, Twitter page, TripAdvisor page, Wikipedia page, among others, are all out of date.  Their Tall Ships America page has been updated.

The S/V Denis Sullivan is a replica three-masted, wooden, gaff rigged schooner built entirely by volunteer labor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was a flagship of both the state of Wisconsin and of the United Nations Environment Programme.

Height: 95 ft (29 m)
Length: 137 ft (42 m) overall; 98 ft (30 m) on deck
Sail plan: Three-masted schooner, ten sails, 4,597 square feet (427.1 m2) total sail area

Due to the pandemic, the S/V Denis Sullivan had remained docked at Discovery World under the care of staff and volunteers. Discovery World continued to perform maintenance and restoration work. World Ocean School took possession of the Sullivan on September 15, 2022, sailing her through the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, down the East Coast to her new port in Boston, then wintering in St. Croix.
