Where the work happens
Ship Preservation and Maint
PSPG is a volunteer centered organization which restores and maintains the Tall Ship Gazela (built 1901) and the Tug Jupiter (built 1902). We use the work on these vessels a way to introduce more people to maritime culture, to train people in: mech, elect, woodworking and eng skills.
Education
The pre-apprentice program, funded by a grant received in late 2024, started in fall 2024 continued through spring 2025. Pre-apprentice was a program for paid intern/apprentices to learn about and gain hands on experience working in the marine trades industry. Several training sails occurred in 2025, including overnight sails.
Events
Events hosted on the Tall Ship Gazela serve to both generate income for PSPG and to introduce people in the region to our presence and mission. Many of our volunteers first learn about PSPG during a public event. In 2025 PSPG continued the local concert series: Riverside Sessions, featuring several local musicians.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
