Help us Bring Appledore V to Pentwater Today
The Appledore V comes with a price tag of $220,000, and we are committed to bringing her home to Pentwater, Michigan—a town where schooners have not graced the harbor since the 1940s. Imagine the sight of this historic vessel sailing into Pentwater, not just as a reminder of our maritime heritage but as a beacon of hope for those who have served our country.
Every dollar brings us closer to our goal of $220,000, and no contribution is too small. Together, we can provide a safe harbor for our veterans and restore a piece of maritime history to Pentwater.
