GAZELA
Philadelphia’s official Tall Ship was built in 1901 in the shipyard of J. M. Mendes in Setubal, Portugal to fish the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.
She has called Philadelphia home since 1971.

Owned by a nonprofit volunteer organization, Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild, Gazela sails as a goodwill ambassador at 177’ long and 94’ high from deck.

Barquentine Gazela has been featured in several major motion pictures including “Interview with the Vampire,” “The Widow of St. Pierre,” and the documentary “The Irish in America.”
