The Puritan is a 126-foot (38 m) gaff-rigged schooner designed by naval architect John Alden and built in 1930. Originally owned by Edward W. Brown in 1929, it was used as a patrol schooner by the United States Navy during World War II. The Puritan has been used mainly as a charter vessel and undergone numerous restorations. It is operated by The Classic Yacht Experience and used as a charter in the Mediterranean Sea.
