"Freedom Schooner Amistad was built at Connecticut's Mystic Seaport in 1999 and launched on March 25, 2000.
The re-created Amistad was built using traditional skills and traditional construction techniques common to wooden schooners built in the 19th century. Some of the tools used in the project were the same as those that might have been used by a 19th century shipwright. Tri-Coastal Marine, designers of Freedom Schooner Amistad, used modern computer technology to provide plans for the vessel, bronze bolts are used as fastenings throughout the ship, the modern Amistad has an external ballast keel made of lead and two Caterpillar diesel engines. None of this technology was available to the early 19th century builders.
Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Amistad America Inc. owns and operates the traditional wooden schooner S/V Amistad. Also known as "Freedom Schooner Amistad." As the official flagship of Connecticut, Amistad brings her message of peace and freedom to all corners of the globe."
