Fame is a full-scale replica of the first American privateer to set out during the War of 1812 and the first to make a capture. She seized over 20 prizes before being wrecked in the Bay of Fundy in 1814.
Launched in 2003 from the Burnham Boatyard in Essex, MA, our Fame cruises on the Salem Sound, where pirates, privateers, East Indiamen, and men of war have been making history for 400 years. Fame sails from Memorial Day through Halloween from Pickering Wharf Marina in downtown Salem, MA, as many as five times daily.
