LYNX in St AugustineSHARING STORIES IS OUR BUSINESS
LYNX in St Augustine
See the interview with St Augustine Easter Festival Association.
In 1997 Woodson K. Woods embarked on a journey to build a privateer inspired by the original historic tall ship from the War of 1812 - The Privateer Lynx. His goal was to create a living history museum to educate children and adults alike about American history through active sail training aboard a real wooden sailing ship. What went into Lynx was not just wood, rope, brass and canvas. It was not just sweat, blood, heartache and laughter either. What went into her goes far beyond history, ambition, inspiration, determination and commitment. On July 28, 2001 in Rockport, Maine Woods' vision was realized. Past and present converged as Lynx was launched in a gala event ordaining a magnificent future on the high seas.
