Hand built in 1929 from native hardwoods, the 82-foot schooner Shearwater harkens back to a bygone era of yachting. New York City's only floating designated landmark, Shearwater has been taking New Yorkers and the city's visitors sailing in the harbor since 2001.

Celebrating her 80th birthday last year and still going strong and sailing gracefully, the Gatsby-era yacht comfortably accommodates up to 48 passengers, and departs daily from lower Manhattanís North Cove Marina on public sails and private charters.
