How might an average Joe get a chance to spend some time at sea on a ship of sail? I specifically mean these reconstruction type vessels, not a modern sailboat.

I hope it's not a poibucci

On the Vespucci if you're not a student your only bet is to be a famous photographer and hope they are hiring someone for a project.

Apparently all orders on the vespucci are given with whistles

Naval school in one of European countries. IDK if Americans do that too but pretty much every Euro country has a sailing ship or two for precisely this reason. Even inland guys get a chance.

I hope you have colour vision and no need for medications because you son, you are going to seaman school.

US Coast Guard got one of the Nazi sailing ships, USCGC Eagle.

It's pretty doable. Iirc there's a ship in Gray's harbor in WA that is a sailing tall ship. They take volunteers all the time. It's not the only one in the US either. These will be smaller ships than a training ship like the Amerigo Vespucci though.

There are various museum ships up and down the east coast like the Mayflower reproduction and the Mary E my advice is to call their respective organizations up and ask to volunteer.

cool sails but the hull is kinda underwhelming

>>63809794
it's not the same but every time they port they allow tourists onboard

>>63811559
We've got one of those as well.

Slut!

>>63811805
All of those training ships do. But they are only used when moving through docks.

Haven't they been phased out yet?

>>63809794
Cabin boy.

>>63811559
Thank you. A more beautiful ship than op pic.

>>63814256
not yet, I have heard they are supposed to be phased out by this year though. It's sad but at least I got a fami flight in one.

>>63814261
delet dis

>>63811559

>>63814325
No. She was designed as a sail training ship for the re-arming Germany.
