The Madeline is a reconstruction of a mid-19th-century schooner, typical of the trading schooners that once sailed the upper Great Lakes. Launched in 1990, the Modern Madeline was built over a period of five years by volunteers of the Maritime Heritage Alliance (MHA), using traditional methods and materials. She has sailed on all five Great Lakes visiting over 60 ports. The Madeline’s home port is Traverse City, Michigan.

The original Madeline sailed the waters of Lake Michigan more than 150 years ago.
