Pioneer
Pioneer
Pioneer was originally built 1885 to carry sand but was re-rigged as a schooner. Schooners were the delivery trucks of their era, carrying cargo from city to city. Pioneer was the first of only two cargo sloops with iron hulls manufactured in the United States. Pioneer is still the only iron-hulled American merchant sailing vessel still in existence, and the South Street Seaport has it. The Pioneer sails every day at 10 a.m. Call 212-748-8590 for reservations.
