  • Friendship of Salem is 171 Feet (sparred length), Niagara is 198 feet. Friendship's sail area is 9,409 sq. feet, Niagara's is 11,600. In terms of hull size (displacement tonnage), and rig size and hieght, Niagara is the larger.

    Largest in the world, certainly not, but these days, she is the largest still sailing under an American flag that is available for the general public to sail on. -Capt. Wesley Heerssen, US Brig Niagara

  • @wheerssen You are full of shit. It is not the largest tallship.

  • "Largest?" Friendship of Salem, for one, is 175 ft. Most authentic vessel sailing? No one will dispute that. There is planking in her that was at the bottom of a lake in 1814.

  • good commercial... to the point.
