We are asking for your help as we work to complete the re-power of the Official Tall Ship of the City of Long Beach. Once completed both our generator and our Main Auxiliary Engine will both be Tier III engines. The engine that came out of the vessel was designed before World War II and installed long before the Tier system was even imagined. For our vessels size a Tier III engine is state of the art and very significantly reduces the pollution that it emits. This has been a complicated project but we can see the end is in sight. As we still have lots of little parts and systems to buy we would love your help to get us over the finish line so that we can get her back where she belongs with Long Beach area students on her decks!

Thank you,
