War of 1812Tall Ship LYNX
“America’s Privateer” Comes to Tampa

Come celebrating the 200th anniversary of
the War of 1812 and the Star-Spangled Banner 
as it comes to Tampa on
January 15th, 2014
at 12pm at
The Tampa
Convention Center.

First ships to defend American freedom by
evading the British naval fleet then blockading American ports and serving in
the important privateering efforts. Although captured early in the war, the
original LYNX design was recognized as superior. With her rakish profile and
superior sailing abilities, she served as an inspiration to those ships that
would follow. Naval Architects continue to study her power and grace. She is
fitted with period ordnance and flies pennants and flags from the 1812 era.
With a noble mission, Lynx acts as a dynamic educational platform and provides
a unique opportunity for students and adults to interact with their American
History lessons and renders a hands-on experience like no other. Students and
adults recognize the War of 1812 as a significant element of American heritage
and as a turning point in the development of our national identity.

Climb aboard and step back in time as you
relive history and feel the adventure. Join the crew and hoist the sails, steer
the ship, fire the main battery of six-pounder carronades and experience
first-hand life aboard a traditional, square topsail schooner. On decks and
below Lynx evokes the life, spirit, and atmosphere of a vanished age of sail.
