Photos: Flotilla Celebrates 15th Anniversary
The Bermuda Sloop Foundation held their celebratory 15 year anniversary flotilla today [Oct 3], with the flotilla leaving the Royal Naval Dockyard and traveling to Hamilton Harbour.
A spokesperson previously said, “While unconventional at the time of its launch, experiential learning aboard the Spirit of Bermuda has since evolved to be a great complement to standard classroom teaching styles.
“As visionaries, the founders of the Bermuda Sloop Foundation – Alan Burland, Jay Kempe, and Malcolm Kirkland – had the foresight to create new learning and developmental pathways for Bermuda’s youth, ultimately earning many young people roles within the maritime industry, who have since turned those opportunities into thriving careers.”
