Maryland’s PRIDE is a reproduction of an 1812-era Baltimore Clipper privateer. She is Maryland's working symbol of the great natural resources and spectacular beauty of the Chesapeake Bay region. Her mission is threefold:
- to promote Maryland trade and tourism
- to represent the goodwill of all Maryland's citizens
- to provide a unique education platform via onboard programs and the Internet for American history and maritime sciences.
Pride of Baltimore II sails globally in fulfillment of this threefold mission.
Pride Baltimore II is owned by the citizens of Maryland and is operated by the private, non profit organization, Pride of Baltimore, Inc. Continuation of Pride II’s mission is contingent on private funding. The ship is managed by a small staff headquartered in the Baltimore World Trade Center, 401 E. Pratt St., Suite 222, Baltimore, MD 21202.
