you are responsible for maintaining this vessel in a satisfactory stability condition at all times.
A stability test, witnessed y the U.S. Coast Guard, was conducted on FAME, ON 1138186, at
Gloucester, Massachusetts, on July 7, 2003. On the basis of that test, stability calculations have
b
been performed. Results indicate that the stability of FAME, as presently outfitted and equipped,
is satisfactory for operation on Partially Protected Waters, provided that the following
restrictions are observed.
SEIBDIV ISION
When operated as indicated below, calculations indicate that this vessel will remain afloat with
any one major compartment flooded (one -compartment subdivision). A major compartment is
the total space between any two adjacent Main Transverse Watertight Bulkheads (MTWB's).
For this vessel, these MTWB's are located at frame 1, 3 feet of of frame 3, and I foot aft of
frame 6.
OPERATING RESTRICTIONS
1. ROUTE: Operation on. Partially Protected Waters is permitted. Since the vessel's route is
based upon other considerations in addition to stability, you are cautioned that the route may be
further limited to that specified on the Certificate of Inspection.
2. PASSENGERS: A maximum of 44 persons may be carried on this vessel, of which 40 may
be passengers. Since the personnel capacity is based upon other considerations in addition to
stability, you are cautioned that the number of persons carried may be further limited to that
specified on the Certificate of Inspection.
3, SAILS: The sails which may be set are limited to the mainsail, foresail, and jib as shown on
the approved sail plan, bearing the U. S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Center approval stamp dated

TOB DESCRIPTIONS
Captain
The captain is responsible for the safe operation of the vessel and for the safety of all staff and campers.
He has no other "camp" responsibilities. He may conduct emergency situation drills at any time. When
he declares an emergency situation, all staff are to follow the established procedures for that type of
emergency and to obey his commands. The captain alone shall determine which camp activities should
be allowed at any given time. The captain has the authority to cancel or alter sailing plans in response
to weather or other concerns. The captain may or may not also be the Camp Director.
Camp Director
The camp director is responsible for the smooth operation of the camp and the implementation of all
camp policies. All camp staff report to the camp director. The camp director also serves as the health
director and is the liaison with the camp's health consultant. The camp director administers all medica-
tion. The camp director is responsible for all communication with parents. In first-aid situations, the
camp director's role is to establish communication with the health consultant or onshore emergency
services, as appropriate. The captain may or may not also be the Camp Director.
Counselor
Each watch counselor will, be directly responsible for 10-12 campers. Each counselor is expected to
understand and be able to convey the basic elements of sailing a traditional vessel. Each counselor is
expected to have good communication and leadership skills and to work hard to ensure that each
camper is 1) being safe, 2) having fun, and 3) learning the curriculum — in that order.
The counselor's primary responsibility is to keep the campers safe and in order while teaching them
about the schooner and how to sail her. The counselor is expected to discipline campers in accordance
with camp policy whenever necessary to ensure the safety of those aboard and/or facilitate the learning
process. Each counselor reports directly to the camp director. Safety concerns should be brought
immediately to the attention of the camp director and/or captain.
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 5
Lifeguard
The lifeguard must hold valid lifesaving cards and should be a capable first-aid provider. The life-
guard's responsibility is to assume a leading role if a camper or staff member should fall overboard, be
injured, or become ill. The lifeguard must coordinate with the captain on the methods that will be
employed to recover anyone who falls overboard. The lifeguard may assist or participate in camp activi-
ties.
In first-aid situations, the lifeguard is to play a lead role in taking care of the injured camper(s) while
the camp director establishes communication with the health consultant or onshore emergency services,
as appropriate.
If it rains and we take the campers on a land-based activity, the lifeguard is responsible for bringing
along the first-aid kit, emergency forms, and medications.
The lifeguard must conduct swimmer evaluations during our first swimming event and evaluate
campers' abilities to swim in water over their heads. Lifejackets are available for campers who do not
meet this standard.
Swimmers MAY NOT jump into the water from the schooner while wearing a lifejacket!
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 6
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Any emergency procedure can serve only as a guideline; the captain and camp staff are expected to use
common sense and to conduct drills regularly. The captain and staff should know the location of the
following emergency equipment:
Fixed VHF radio and radio information located at the binnacle;
Fire extinguishers inside every hatch;
Life ring on the starboard rail behind the tiller;
EPIRB attached to the stern;
Emergency flares in the orange waterproof box at the chart table;
Airhorn at the binnacle;
Inflatable Buoyant Apparatus (IBA) canister forward of the engine room cabin -top;
Swimmer's vest on deck in a convenient location;
and know how to use each item. They should also know the location of at least one cell phone.
The Emergency `SIT'
Any time an emergency situation is declared, campers are to gather on deck, sitting quietly on the
cabin -top assigned to their watch with their counselor, and await instructions from the captain.
Counselors are to remain with their campers at all times.
FIRE
Alert the captain that an emergency exists. Gather campers at the safest location available. Issue PAN -
PAN or MAYDAY as appropriate. Use the fire extinguishers to fight the fire if possible. If the fire
cannot be contained, make preparations to run the vessel ashore or abandon ship.
Emergency Broadcast Instructions are posted at the binnacle, as required by the US Coast Guard, and
also at the chart table.
THUNDERSTORM
Gather campers at the safest location available. If there is lightning, warn campers not to touch any-
thing made of metal such as the stanchions, standing rigging, anchor, etc. Counselors are to remain
with their campers at all times unless they are needed to assist the captain in handling the vessel.
Detailed Emergency Instructions and Emergency Broadcast Instructions are posted at the binnacle, as
required by the US Coast Guard, and also at the chart table.
GROUNDING/COLLI SION/SINKING
If necessary, alert the captain that an emergency exists. Issue PAN -PAN or MAYDAY. Gather
campers at the safest location available. Follow the captain's instructions.
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 7
Detailed Emergency Instructions and Emergency Broadcast Instructions are posted at the binnacle, as
required by the US Coast Guard, and also at the chart table.
MAJOR DISASTER ASHORE
If a major disaster has occurs ashore, the camp director must decide if it is safe, and appropriate, to
return to the dock so that parents may pick up their children. If the dock is no longer a safe location,
then the camp director and captain must decide on an alternative landing site and the camp director
must try to contact parents.
If the nature of the disaster is such that parents cannot be contacted, all measures must be taken to
keep the campers safe, keep them together, and establish contact with parents.
LIFEJACKETS
Although the schooner carries sufficient child-sized lifejackets for all campers, campers are not
normally required to wear them. In the event that the captain orders campers to don lifejackets,
counselors should insure straps are tight. Five adult-size lifejackets should be kept on deck at all times
for the potential use of the camp staff.
LIFE RAFT / ABANDONING SHIP
The schooner is equipped with an automatically-deploying 50-person life raft (IBA) All staff should be
drilled in the manual deployment of the IBA. Likewise, campers should be made aware of the IBA
canister and how it operates.
Counselors should keep a running head count of their group during any emergency situation, especially
abandon ship. Keep your group together; pair up campers; count heads at every opportunity.
Emergency Instructions and Emergency Broadcast Instructions are posted at the binnacle, as required
by the US Coast Guard, and also at the chart table.
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 8
CONTINGENCY PLANS
CAMPER DOES NOT ARRIVE BY 9 AM
Double-check attendance; check phone messages; call parent. Leave message for parent if no answer.
ARRIVAL OF UNREGISTERED CHILD
Determine name of child and relationship, if any, to camper or campers; attempt to contact parent
if info is available. If parent can be reached, make arrangements for child to be picked up as soon as
possible. If parent cannot be contacted, call Salem Police Dept. and arrange for custody of child.
CAMPER IS NOT PICKED UP
Call parent. If parent cannot be reached, call camper's listed emergency contact. Detail a staffer
to remain with camper until picked up. If nobody can be reached, call Salem Police Dept. and arrange
for custody of child.
MISSING CAMPER -AT SEA
Inform the captain immediately and prepare to institute man -overboard procedures. Note the time.
Call an Emergency `SIT' and search the schooner. Issue PAN -PAN or MAYDAY, reverse course, and
begin recovery procedures.
Detailed Emergency Instructions and Emergency Broadcast Instructions are posted at the binnacle, as
required by the US Coast Guard, and also at the chart table.
MISSING CAMPER -ON SHORE
Inform the camp director immediately. Note the time. Call an `Emergency SIT' and assign staff mem-
ber members to search the schooner, the docks and the surrounding area. If the camper cannot be
located within five minutes, notify Salem Police Dept. and call parents.
MISSING CAMPER -LOST SWIMMER
Before swimming, make sure that the lifeguard and all camp personnel know the exact number of
campers participating. A staff member (apart from the lifeguard) should take a head count every five
minutes during swim. If a camper cannot be accounted for, staff are to ring the ship's bell, get all
campers out of the water, and institute an `Emergency SIT' where campers can be recounted. During
this time the lifeguard should be searching the swim area for the missing camper. Other staff should
check below deck, especially in the bathroom. If the camper cannot be immediately located, contact the
Salem and/or Beverly Harbormasters via VHF and continue search efforts until the camper is located.

The bathroom is to be cleaned and disinfected daily. It should also be checked periodically during the
day to make sure it is still clean. Campers asking permission to use the bathroom should be reminded
to wash their hands. Campers should be reminded to cover their mouths when sneezing or coughing.
KNOWN MEDICAL CONDITIONS
If any campers for the upcoming session have allergies or other known medical conditions, it will be
discussed at orientation.
MEDICATIONS
All medications must be in their original container and labeled with the camper's full name, drug
name, dose, and time to be given. Parents must file a written authorization as provided with with the
registration packet. No campers are to be allowed aboard with drugs that have not been previously
cleared through both the camp director, in his role as health coordinator, and the health consultant.
Medications will only be administered in accordance with the labeled instructions. All medications are
to be, returned to parents at the end of the camp session.
Storage and administration of medication is the responsibility of the camp director in his role as health
coordinator. If parental permission and physician approval are on file, campers may self-administer
inhalers or Epi -Pens. If there is a need for a camper's medication, with the exception of inhalers or
Epi -Pens, the camp director must be informed immediately. Medicines are to be stored at the chart
table adjacent to the first aid kit.
INJURIES / ILLNESS
In all first-aid situations, the lifeguard is to play a lead role in taking care of the injured camper(s)
while the camp director establishes communication with the health consultant or onshore emergency
services, as appropriate. If the situation is serious the lifeguard may order an Emergency'SIT' to reduce
confusion and noise.
In the event of any injury or illness that requires treatment, the camp director must be informed of all
particulars so that he can likewise inform the parents at pickup.
In the event of any injury or illness which requires immediate treatment beyond what can be provided
on board, the schooner will immediately motor to the nearest dock where the camper can be trans -
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 10
ferred to an ambulance. The camp director will take immediate steps to inform the parents or others
listed on the camper's emergency form. The lifeguard will remain with the camper until a parent or
other authorized person arrives to take charge.

In the event of mild illness, the child may be separated from other campers while parents
are notified. Parents may elect to have the schooner return to dock immediately so that they or an
authorized person can pick up child, or they may.prefer to monitor the situation by phone. If the child
is feeling better, the health consultant may authorize his or her return to camp activities. Meanwhile,
the in camper remains under the supervision of the lifeguard.
CLEANUP
Disposal gloves are kept with the first-aid kit for the clean-up of blood, vomit, bodily fluids, etc.
Affected areas should be disinfected as soon as possible. Clothing which has been stained should be
wrapped in a plastic garbage bag and returned to the parent.
REPORTING
All injuries requiring treatment of any kind are to be noted in the medical log book and a report form
must be filled out and signed by parents and staff.
ABUSE & NEGLECT
By law, our camp is required to report suspected abuse or neglect of the children in our care. If any
staff member suspects a camper is being abused or neglected, he/she should consult with the camp
coordinator to determine if a Form 51A should be filed. If a 51A is appropriate both the Department
of Social Services and the Board of Health must be notified.
If any staff member is accused of abuse or neglect, he or she will be suspended immediately and will
remain suspended until the accusations can be investigated. The camp will cooperate fully with any
official investigation. Wrongly accused staff are entitled to their full pay regardless of the length of
time they are suspended. Staff members found guilty of abuse or neglect will forfeit all pay.
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 11
STAFF ORIENTATION
This is not just any camp; this is schooner camp — a unique camp in a unique environment, with
unique situations and procedures. Orientation of staff is an essential part of keeping our campers safe.
Orientation begins with spending time on board the schooner before the beginning of camp. All staff
members are strongly encouraged to come along as volunteers any time the schooner sails so that they
can gain experience on board the schooner in a range of conditions.
The week before camp begins all staff are required to attend orientation on board the schooner so that
the following can be discussed in detail:
1) Sailing the Vessel
All staff must first be competent crewmen. Now is the time to familiarize yourself with our
schooner, our captain, and the way we do things.
Hand, Reef & Steer
Docking procedures
Basic engine tutorial
2) Emergencies

Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 12
Weather permitting, the orientation should take place underway so that staff may conduct drills. At
the captain's discretion, drills may also take place during camp hours so that campers as well as staff
can see what an emergency situation might look like.
TRAFFIC CONTROL: PICKUP AND DROP-OFF
Each morning, camp staff must organize a rotation to greet campers as they arrive at Pickering Wharf
and escort them down the ramp and onto the schooner, where staff will supervise them until the daily
schedule begins. Campers should not be lingering on the ramp or roaming the docks.
At the end of the day campers will be escorted in a group up to the grassy area behind the ticket booth
where they are to sit until they are picked up. Staff must have pick-up lists available to make sure that
only authorized persons are picking up campers.
DISCIPLINE POLICY
Our goal is always to use DISCIPLINE rather than PUNISHMENT. We never shout at, physically
threaten, or manhandle a child.
State law requires that staff be reminded that no corporal punishment or hitting any kind is permissible
— no cruel punishments — no verbal abuse or humiliation — no denial of food or shelter — no pun-
ishment for incontinence.
If you're having a problem with a child, and it is truly the child's fault, separate that child. Make sure
he or she understands the nature of the problem. Give them a time-out if necessary, not as punishment
but as an opportunity to calm down.
Remember:
Criticize the behavior, not the child.
Don't punish the whole group for the misbehavior of one of two.
Don't lose your perspective, or your sense of humor. And never lose your cool.
Follow through with praise for good behavior and consequences for bad behavior.
If a camper's behavior persists in being a problem, don't continue spending your group's time on him
or her. Alert the Camp Director and let him or her handle the situation.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
State regulations require background checks for all staff and volunteers as follows:
All staff and volunteers must undergo CORI and SORI checks in addition to self -reporting of any
felony convictions.
All staff and volunteers must supply their work history for the past five years.
All staff and volunteers must supply three positive references from non -relatives.
No person is allowed to work at or volunteer at a camp until the camp operator has obtained all
Schooner Camp Staff Guide - 13
required background information and has reviewed and made a determination regarding that informa-
tion.
STAFF HEALTH RECORDS AND IMMUNIZATION RECORDS
105 CMR 430.000 requires that all staff provide written documentation of immunization as follows:
Measles Vaccine: Unless born before 1957, two doses of live measles -containing vaccine administered
at or after 12 months of age (at least four weeks apart). Laboratory evidence of immunity is acceptable.
Mumps Vaccine: Unless born before 1957, at least one dose of mumps vaccine administered at or after
12 months of age is required. Laboratory evidence of immunity is acceptable.
Rubella Vaccine: Unless born before 1957, at least one dose of rubella vaccine administered at or after
12 months of age is required. Laboratory evidence of immunity is acceptable.
Diptheria and Tetanus Toxoids: At least three doses of DT/Td are required. A booster dose of
tetanus/diptheria, adult type toxoid (Td) is required if more than ten years have elapsed since the last
dose of DtaP/DTPDT/Td vaccine.
STAFF BEHAVIOR
Needless to say, use of nonprescription drugs and/or alcohol during camp hours is absolutely forbidden.
Appropriate contact and behavior with campers is essential. Don't discuss your personal feelings,
habits, or experiences with drugs, alcohol, or sex with campers. Don't discuss religion or politics. You
never know in what form your comments will be repeated to parents. Remember — kids can't always
tell when you're joking.
BEWARE being alone with a camper, below decks or anywhere else. Allegations of physical or sexual
abuse can have a devastating effect on a counselor and on the camp. Avoid being alone with a camper
if at all possible; never place yourself in a situation where it's your word against a camper's..

FAME of SALEM
Our Fame is a full-scale replica of a privateer that
sailed out of Salem during the War of 1812. Fame
was a `Chebacco' schooner built for fishing around
1811. Converted to privateering when war broke out.
Fame captured at least 21 vessels before being lost in
the Bay of Fundy in 1814.
Our replica was launched in 2003 by Essex boat -
builder Harold Burnham. The new Fame is a Coast
Guard -certified vessel which offers public sails on
historic Salem Sound from May through October and
is also available forprivate charters.
For more information on the schooner and its
programs, visit our website at SchoonerFame.com.

The ratio of campers to crew is never greater
than 5:1. All crew have first-aid certification and
have undergone the required CORI and SORT
background checks.
