Topsail Schooner WOLF Flagship of the Conch Republic and Florida Keys & WHALE Center’s Waves of Change
Vessel History WOLF is a classic 74’ gaff rigged topsail schooner built in 1982-1983 in Panama City, Florida by Master builder Willis Ray and Finbar Gittelman, First Sea Lord and ADM of the Conch Republic. Designed by Merit Walter, the WOLF is a Norfolk Rover class steel hull schooner and Finbar serves as her master. Home ported at Safe Harbour Marina in Stock Island Key West, WOLF is owned and operated by Key West Packet Lines, Inc., and is designated the Flagship of both the Conch Republic & Florida Keys and the Florida based not-for-profit, WHALE Center’s Wave of Change Program. Typical of the blockade runners plying the waters of the Florida Straits, Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean in the 19th century, WOLF is featured in numerous publications, films and documentaries, including Matt Dean Films 2018 “The Old Man and the Sea: Return to Cuba.” WOLF is known for her Humanitarian Mission of Mercy Sails and since 1987, has taken donated relief supplies to many island communities in need throughout the Caribbean after catastrophic natural disasters. WOLF also sailed members of the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage to Cuba on their 1998 journey retracing the ancient route of slavery. WOLF, in collaboration with WHALE Center, the Nachito Herrera Foundation, PeaceVision TV and other organizations, is preparing for 2019 and 2020 Ambassador & Humanitarian Voyages, designed to create change through the healing of music, art and sail.
