Fair Jeanne

Fair Jeanne was designed and built between 1979 and 1982 by the Pirate of the Adriatic, Captain Thomas G. Fuller, a Canadian naval war hero. Captain Fuller named his ship after his wife, Jeanne. The two sailed together aboard Fair Jeanne, travelling as far as the Adriatic Sea. Today it’s a training vessel for Bytown Brigantine, a local Ottawa charity that works to instill confidence and leadership in youth through square-rigged sailing.

Fair Jeanne has sailed the oceans of the world, logged over 150,000 nautical miles (280,000 kilometres), and has put over 2,000 trainees through her program in the last 20 years.
