The Ontario Beach Park Program Committee is excited to announce a June 26-29 visit of the historic schooner When and If to the Port of Rochester on Great Lake Ontario. Based in Key West, Florida and Salem, Massachusetts, the 83-foot schooner was built in 1939 for legendary General George Patton. Patton’s dream was to sail around the world “when the war is over, and if I live through it.”
The presence of When and If at the Port of Rochester will surely evoke our own rich maritime history and traditions.
The schooner will host public ninety-minute day sails and sunset sails during its visit to Rochester, and will also be available for group charters. Day sails are $69 per person, and twilight sails are $89 per person; sails do not include food or beverages (other than provided iced bottled water). This will be the sole chance in 2025 for the public to sail upon such a ship out of the Port of Rochester.
