Above Decks
The schooner Adventuress was built in East Boothbay, Maine, in 1913. She is 133' long overall and 101' on deck. During day sails, she can carry a maximum of 60 "souls"—45 participants and 15 crew.
The image below was taken by participant Laura B. as she climbed in the rigging during an overnight trip. It shows a portion of the deck aft of the mainmast. At the bottom center you can see Adventuress' dinghy, Ayashe, which is full of fenders that the crew use to help Adventuress get safely on and off the dock. You can also see the wheel (a participant is at the helm under the guidance of the Captain), the butterfly hatch skylight that looks down onto the main cabin, and the companionway that leads below decks.

Below Decks
On overnight trips, Adventuress sleeps thirty-seven. Participants sleep in either the Main Cabin (sixteen bunks) or the Foc'sle (twelve bunks). There is also a Crew Cabin (four bunks) and the Captain's Cabin, as well as four convertible bunks in the Deckhouse that crew use when the ship is at capacity.
The bunks have foam mattresses, but we ask you to bring a sleeping bag and small pillow. There are no showers aboard the ship. There are three heads (marine toilets) that are located in the passageway between the main cabin and the foc’sle (this passageway is affectionately referred to as the "Bowling Alley"). Each head has a toilet and a sink.
