Rituals of the Sea is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization located in Brooksville, Maine, dedicated to preserving maritime craft traditions and promoting experiential learning in open wooden boats. Founded in 2020 by a group of former staff from the Chewonki Foundation, The Apprenticeshop, and Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, the organization offers a unique fleet of traditional working watercraft and maintains an extensive maritime archive.
Their mission emphasizes the importance of community engagement, voluntary simplicity, and a connection to the natural world, striving to celebrate the joys of living and working together. Through publications and small craft expeditions, Rituals of the Sea aims to foster a deeper understanding of handmade traditions and the cultural heritage of coastal communities.
