Cruise the historic waters of Salem Sound and see forts, lighthouses, the beautiful waterfront homes of Beverly and Marblehead, and the outlying islands (Misery, Baker's, Eagle, and Children's) on the Schooner Fame.
The original Fame was one of the first privateers of the War of 1812 and the first to send in a captured vessel. She took at least 20 prizes off Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick before being wrecked in 1814.
Experience what life was like for the fishermen, traders, pirates and privateers who created our North Shore. Haul away on the halyards! Take a turn at the tiller!

Life is cooler out on the water... bring a sweatshirt or windbreaker just in case but keep your high heels and dress shoes at home. (Wear sneakers, sandals, or boat shoes.)
Raised sails provide shade to one side of the boat at all times, but do note there is no covered section of the boat.
Our FAME was launched in 2003 from the H. A. Burnham Boatyard in Essex, MA. Just 10 miles north of Salem, Essex was the boatbuilding center of the North Shore for 400 years. The Burnham family has been building wooden boats since the 1640s!
