ROSEWAY is a National Historic Landmark ship and the primary platform for the World Ocean School , a nonprofit organization operating from St. Croix, USVI and Boston, MA. Built in 1925, Roseway has led a long and distinguished career, serving as a racing yacht, a fishing vessel, and a pilot boat guiding Allied vessels through minefields and antisubmarine nets during World War II. When she was retired in 1972, Roseway was the last sailing pilot boat in the United States. She then began serving passengers as a charter vessel off the Maine coast before falling into disrepair. In 2002, the World Ocean School began a two-year restoration. Today, after more than 80 years of service, Roseway is again sailing the Atlantic providing educational programs to underserved youth worldwide.
