Sailing Around the World on Picton Castle with Captain Dan Moreland

A Life of Service and Inspiration Captain Daniel D. Moreland; sailing ship master, sailmaker and rigger, has devoted his professional life to the craft of time-tested sailing ships at their peak development and dedicated his seagoing to the training of young mariners. In 1993 he began the project that would become the Barque Picton Castle and established her ocean sail training voyages. In his position as master, he has influenced over three thousand trainees and logged around four hundred thousand miles under sail, teaching seamanship and a host of nautical and sailing ship skills, and sailing to amazing ports and remote islands. This summer, Dan Moreland completed his 8th, round-the-world voyage. Over a career that has included such ships as Picton Castle, Maverick, Romance, Dolmar, Danmark, Sorlandet, Gazaela, Ernestina, and Niagara, captain Moreland has come a long, long way since growing up on Long Island Sound.
