The SSV Tole Mour is a 156 ft (48 m) schooner[1] and sail training vessel operating in the Channel Islands of California, off the West Coast of the United States.
Designed by Ewbank, Brooke and Associates, she was built by the Nichols Bros. Boat Builders[2] on Whidbey Island in Washington's Puget Sound to withstand the extreme conditions of the South Pacific, she is extremely seaworthy and meets or exceeds all of the United States Coast Guard's regulations as a Sailing School Vessel, while offering luxurious accommodations in comparison to other tall ships.
The Tole Mour was originally commissioned by the Marimed Foundation of Hawai’i in 1988 as a self-contained primary health care support vessel, operating in the US trust territory protectorate of the Marshall Islands.
[3] The name of the ship was selected by a competition of Marshall Islands school children, and means 'A Gift of Life and Health' in the Marshallese language.
[5] In 2014, the Tole Mour was sold to Island Windjammers, a charter cruise company operating in the Caribbean Sea.
