We are pleased to offer one of the most beautiful working style sailing ships in the world today, the BILL OF RIGHTS for World Wide Sale! This 2-Masted Gaff Topsail Schooner was designed by McCurdy, Rhodes, & Bates. She was constructed in South Bristol, Maine at a famous old school New England Yard established back in 1850. The yard formally known as Bristol Yacht Building is well respected for having produced US Navy Minesweepers in the 40's and such ships as Hero (NOAA's 135'Antarctic Research Ship), 131' Harvey Gamage, 106' Clearwater, and dozens of others.
