Expect to see Winter Island, Fort Pickering, Marblehead Neck, beautiful waterfront homes of Beverly and Marblehead, and the outlying islands (Misery, Baker's, Eagle, and Children's) on The Schooner Fame.
The original Fame was one of the first American privateers at sea and arguably the first to send in a captured vessel. She took at least 21 prizes off Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick before being wrecked in the Bay of Fundy in 1814.
Imagine what life may have been on this full-scale replica of the famous privateer schooner that sailed from Salem during the War of 1812.
