The mission of Tall Ships Portland is to encourage character building of youth through sail training, support education under sail and promote sail training to the public in Maine. This is a Maine-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is the first official chapter of Tall Ships America. We provide accredited experiential education for teenagers on board traditional sailing vessels and we organize events to benefit the youth of Maine.
