Adventure is a gaff rigged knockabout schooner. She was built in Essex, Massachusetts, USA, and launched in 1926 to work the Grand Banks fishing grounds out of Gloucester. She is one of only two surviving knockabout fishing schooners – ships designed without bowsprits[2] for the safety of her crew.
Adventure was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994,[2][3] underwent a substantial restoration in 2012, and sails today in the tourist trade out of Gloucester.
