Fireman Center for Performing Arts in Hoyt Hall
Watch Tabor on the big screen with Tabor Boy: 100 Years at Sea by John Rice ’71, followed by Celestial by Jack Gordon ’17. Each movie is approximately 1 hour in length.

Tabor Boy: 100 Years at Sea explores the history of the SSV Tabor Boy sail-training program and celebrates the ship’s rich history, from its early use as a North Sea pilot schooner to its use today as an educational platform for teaching nautical and marine science. Filmed in heavy seas, the documentary follows the ocean journey of Tabor Boy from New England to the Virgin Islands as students and crew conduct research.

Celestial chronicles the Tabor Boy’s historic victory in the 2019 Marion to Bermuda Race. Learn how Captain James Geil and his crew of twelve students, seven alumni, and three licensed mates defeated the heavily favored Spirit of Bermuda and brought the Captain Ed Williams trophy back to Marion.
