Wilmington Harbor Enhancement Trust
Tall Ship Prince William Visit
In 2007, WHET coordinated with the Tall Ships Youth
Trust from the United Kingdom to arrange a Memorial
Day visit from their 195 foot signature brigantine "Prince
William"
Several members of WHET's Board of Directors were
invited to sail on the ship for three days from Morehead
City to Wilmington and experience the valuable work
performed by the Trust in building character, teamwork
and a sense of self worth among the young people that
sail on the ship.
Thousands of Wilmingtonians came out to welcome the
ship for a four day stay. This visit developed what we
hope will be a lasting relationship between the Tall
Ships Youth Trust and Wilmington Harbor Enhancement
Trust
