History on Tap: Restoration of the Schooner Hindu
Step aboard the Schooner Hindu and journey through nearly a century of maritime history. This 1925 gaff-rigged schooner has carried generations of Provincetown locals and visitors through the harbor, witnessing the evolution of the town from a bustling fishing and whaling hub to a modern tourist destination. Explore the Hindu’s fascinating story: built as a pleasure craft in Maine, converted to a cargo vessel during the Depression, requisitioned by the Navy in World War II, and restored with care to sail again today. Discover the challenges and triumphs of her extensive restoration, the craftsmanship of wooden schooners, and the traditions of classic sailing that the Hindu embodies. Through historic photographs, personal stories, and behind-the-scenes insights from the restoration process, attendees will learn how this beloved vessel has become a living link to Cape Cod’s maritime past.
