Pioneer, Museum schooner in Manhattan, US
The Pioneer stands at South Street Seaport Museum with its iron hull, measuring 102 feet in length and featuring a beam of 21 feet.
Built in 1885 in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, Pioneer started as a cargo sloop transporting sand along the Delaware River for Chester Rolling Mills.
The vessel serves as an educational platform where students participate in sailing activities while learning about maritime history and navigation techniques.
From May through October, visitors can join daytime and sunset sailing trips around New York Harbor to view the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty.
Pioneer remains the only surviving American merchant sailing vessel constructed with iron plates, making it a significant example of maritime engineering.
