Swift of Ipswich
''Swift of Ipswich'' is a topsail schooner owned and operated by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute's ''TopSail Youth Program''〔 〕 as a sail training vessel for at-risk youth.〔( "Our Fleet, Swift of Ipswich" ), ''Los Angeles Maritime Institute'', Retrieved on 2010-02-17.〕
==History==
Originally built in Ipswich, Massachusetts as a private yacht, ''Swift of Ipswich'' is a reduced-scale replica of ''Swift'', an American privateer from the Revolutionary War which was captured by the Royal Navy, transported to Britain, and deconstructed. The drawings produced from the original ''Swift'' have been used as the basis for several tall ship designs, mostly due to their completeness in an era which produced few detailed drawings (most ship designs having been scale models which have not survived intact). Soon after completion, ''Swift of Ipswich'' was sold to actor James Cagney and transported to Newport Beach, where she served as his private yacht and appeared in numerous Hollywood films.〔
After being sold by Cagney in 1958,〔 the ''Swift'' was used for various purposes, such as harbor tours, before being acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in 1991.〔
Swift of Ipswich participated in the ''Clash of the Tall Ships II'' in Long Beach Harbor in January, 1998.
