The official maritime ambassador for Rhode Island is the tall ship, Oliver Hazard Perry. It’s named for the local naval hero in the war of 1812. The vintage-inspired ship is the largest, regularly operating civilian sail training vessel in the United States. See how it is also used as a floating classroom for local high school students to build character and learn skills for the maritime industry.
