Dear Deb,
I am involved with several educational schooners here in the Great Lakes.
One organization you should connect with is the American Sail Training
Association, or ASTA. These are the folks who sail the tall ships, most
have strong education missions.
There is a whole network of folks out there with lots of experience
in what you are trying to do. ASTA is a good place to begin to network with
them.
I cannot give the web site, but a Google search will take you to them.

>
> Secondly, any good sources for grants aimed specifically at maritime
> history, working with under-represented populations, or inner city schools?
> The school programs for the organization are going to start at in the DC
> public school system in SE.
>
> Lastly, any good advice about getting a tall ship built and creating a
> museum/educational experience around it?
>
> Thanks in advance!!
