Design and Construction
Friends Good Will was designed and built by Scarano Boat Building in Albany, New York, who specializes in historic reproductions. The Museum and the builder are working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard to guarantee that the ship meets U.S. Coast Guard regulations as a sailing ship licensed for carrying passengers.
Friends Good Will has a U.S. Coast Guard licensed master as captain and a full Ship's Company. The initial rigging will be performed by a professional shipwright and the Ship's Company, all of whom are members of the Museum. Regular maintenance, as well as the annual rigging and de-rigging, will be accomplished with the assistance of the volunteer crew.
