The Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild is a vibrant community committed to preserving and sharing maritime history through hands-on experiences aboard our vessels Jupiter and Gazela Primeiro.
Let us host your special event aboard a piece of living maritime history.
Meet Philadelphia's official tall ship, the Gazela Primeiro, and tugboat Jupiter, the oldest Philly-built tugboat in existance.
As a 501c3 not-for-profit, the PSPG puts donors’ support to work in support of our objectives.
You can pitch in and join our crew, helping to preserve a piece of maritime history, or follow us on social media to keep up with our projects!
We are working to establish a Preservation Shipyard & Education Center, to teach practical trades skills to a new generation.
