The 200-foot topsail schooner the Empire Sandy is Canada's largest schooner. Built in 1943, she sails with 11,000 square feet of canvas and has double cannons that are fired at special times. Sails are hoisted as the tall ship departs and the wind is harnessed to propel the 740 ton Empire Sandy along Toronto's scenic waterfront. Certified to carry up to 275 passengers, the Empire Sandy has hosted a variety of small and large groups and can seat 166 passengers at one time for dining purposes.
