Accessibility Information:
Schooner Adventure, a National Historic Landmark built in 1926, presents accessibility challenges due to its historic design and maritime environment. While we strive to accommodate all visitors, please note that the vessel is not fully accessible for assistive devices such as wheelchairs and walkers.
Boarding the schooner requires navigating a gangway and stepping over the vessel’s side, and movement throughout the deck includes uneven surfaces and limited seating. Below-deck access involves steep companionways with narrow steps.
We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations and alternative ways to experience Adventure’s rich history. For more information or assistance in planning your visit, please contact us at: info@schooner-adventure.org or call 978.281.8079.
