On my recent visit to Salem, MA, I booked my friend and I on the 2 hour cruise "Rum and Revolution" aboard the Fame. Brilliant weather was complimented by music, history lessons, and even a lesson on how to dance the hornpipe delivered by "Tobias". I was even afforded the opportunity to help hoist the main and foresails. The view of Salem Harbor was not to be forgotten, the crew was fast and happy, and the captain displayed a quick wit. (His statement upon seeing my friend's medical alert service dog was to ask if he was "a ratter".) There were various drinks available for sale, along with snacks and souvenirs.
If you are interested in sailing, and wish to experience a brief taste of the seafaring lore, don't miss an opportunity to board the Schooner FAME of Salem
