Jamie Trost, Captain
Captain Trost was aboard for the month of January, managing the crew. Although he has departed to a warmer climate for several weeks, he will be returning in March to assist with Pride II's haul out in Portsmouth, VA. He'll serve as Pride II's relief/partner captain with Captain Miles for the 2010 Great Lakes tour. Jamie is a tall ship master with more than 5 years of experience as Captain and more than a decade of experience sailing aboard traditionally rigged vessels.
Emily Harwood
Emily is one of several of Pride II's fall crew who has stayed on for the winter maintenance work. The brisk wind and frigid temperatures of a Baltimore winter make for some interesting working conditions. As a crew leader, Emily is up for the challenge.
Brendan Meagher
Pride II welcomes back Brendan Meagher, engineer for Pride II's 2009 and 2007 sailing seasons. Brendan has his hands full this winter with a number of projects; though he does have the advantage of being out of the elements most of the time.
Jeff Crosby
Returns for another winter of hard work along Baltimore's chilly harbor - his third straight winter crew stint aboard Pride II. Jeff sailed as a deckhand for the entire 2009 sailing season as well as the fall half of the 2008 season.
Elizabeth Foretek
Another 2009 crew member who can't get her fill of Pride II. Elizabeth is eager to get her hands dirty getting Pride II ready for the 2010 sailing season.
Shannon Reilley
The newcomer to Pride II's winter crew, but very familiar with the hard work and variety of skills required for wooden vessel maintenance. Prior to joining Pride II's crew, Shannon was a volunteer deckhand aboard Kalmar Nyckel and Lady Washington.
