Gloucester City Sail, Inc.

Gloucester City Sail, Inc. (GCS) is a non-profit agency whose main mission is to serve the youth of the area through a maritime training program. The schooner \”North Wind\” will serve as the flagship for the city and will be utilized as an educational schoolship. Students from local schools will have the opportunity to learn about the maritime world, with educational and job opportunities.

In addition, the students will learn teamwork, trust and respect for themselves, others and the environment. The GCS program will reach out to youth in the area, especially those less fortunate and under-privileged. The GCS program will also serve adults who are veterans and/or handicapped.

As a candidate for President of the U. S. , Norman Thomas said, in a 1944 epoch speech:

\”The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of \”liberalism\”, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.\”

He went on to say: \”I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.\”
