What to expect at the Pirates and Rum Speakeasy aboard the  Gazela Historic Ship

Step aboard the historic Gazela, Philadelphia’s official tall ship and the city’s most iconic historic landmarks, for a spooky evening unlike any other. Built in 1901, the 125-year-old wooden sailing vessel once spent decades fishing the Grand Banks before finding its home at Penn’s Landing. Since arriving in Philadelphia in 1971, Gazela has served as the city’s maritime ambassador and is maintained by the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild.
