Here's maritime magic! The saga of Gloucester's "Grand Old Lady," the schooner Adventure - one of America's last links to the age of working sail. This fast, beautiful wooden boat, built in 1926, was the last American dory-trawler. Now, see Adventure in her glory! Hear from the men and women of Gloucester how she survived to become a National Historic Landmark - and an American Treasure! Adventure, her city, and the sea come alive in this powerful documentary. As Senator Ted Kennedy, himself a dedicated sailor, wrote: "Adventure is a defining jewel in the whole spectacle of America...a wonderful, wonderful educational instrument."
