Matthew Turner

George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 07/12/2021) stated "She's a brigantine vaguely related to early Bay Area cargo ships, particularly those built by local shipwrights like Matthew Turner. " The Call of the Sea Website states "Matthew Turner is a tall ship designed after the ship Galilee, which was built in the late 1800’s by the ship designer and builder Matthew Turner. The Galilee held the San Francisco to Tahiti passage record of 19 days for many years. Matthew Turner will expand the capacity of programs that are currently running onboard Seaward, which currently serves middle school aged youth and engages them in marine environmental education. Expanded programming will enable Call of the Sea to reach even more students (from 5,000 to 15,000 served annually)."
