   The Marco Polo Project has now closed down for another season . We will be starting up again in May , 2010 . The question everyone has is "where will the permanent site be for our famous ship-the Marco Polo". She is 90 feet long and 65 feet high and she will sit along the wharf near the harbour .Send your thoughts to our web site. There are no present plans for the interior of the Marco Polo . Alot of effort, pride and care have gone into our ship , as our history and who we are is very important . We continue to seek donations and our web site continues to be used as an educational tool that tells our story . "We are the change we wish to see" Mohandas Gandhi

   Welcome to the official web site of The Marco Polo Project. It is our hope that this site will serve as an important source of knowledge about the Marco Polo for the Internet community, as well as providing a vehicle for continual updates on the status of the Project, and the dream to bring this great ship back to life.

   There is no better example of Canada’s role as a leading shipbuilding nation than the Marco Polo. With her innovative and visionary design, and tenacious spirit, the Marco Polo carved a place in nautical history, bringing New Brunswick and Canada to the forefront.

    Please take the time to fully browse this site, and learn some of the unique history of “The Fastest Ship in the World.” Sign our guest book and let us know your thoughts. We'd love to have you along on the voyage.

Sincerely, Barry Ogden,
The Marco Polo Project
