MAKERSHIP I - LAUNCH DATE SPRING 2026!

MAKERSHIP I will launch its first programming and global outreach initiative from the decks of a traditionally rigged sail training vessel in the Spring of 2026.

Currently we are seeking partners and angel investors who believe in our cause and wish to see this program come into fruition and last for generations to come.

Much like ARCH NYC, MAKERSHIP I will be outfitted as a state-of-the-art maker-space, custom design and fabrication facility. It will be an accredited trade school providing hands-on practical application training to individuals from around the world, all the while completing actionable missions.

HELP US ACQUIRE THE MARJORIE II

We have identified the Marjorie II as the most ideal vessel currently on the market to serve as the Flagship for MAKERSHIP. This Vessel is very well maintained and will require little refitting or upgrades. We anticipate that once purchased we can have the ship in the Hudson River within 2 months—staffed & outfitted to begin global missions within 4 months.

The quality and finish of the Marjorie II will allow MAKERSHIP to pursue and activate multiple revenue streams which will be essential for the programs extended operating success and growth.
