| The Topsail Schooner 'Tole
Mour' in the Marshal Islands Oil on canvas (900 x 700) Prints available
This 48m topsail schooner was built for the Marimed Foundation of Hawai’i in
1988 as a self-contained primary health care support
vessel, operating in the US trust territory protectorate
of the Marshall Islands. The name of the ship was
selected by a competition of Marshall Islands school
children, and means 'A Gift of Life and Health' in the
Marshallese language. With onboard medical, dental and
ophthalmological offices, the Tole Mour provided
medical services to over 15,000 islanders over a period
of 4 years, until the Marshallese government
commissioned their own fleet of medical delivery vessels
and the Tole Mour returned to Hawai’i to serve
other purposes. http://www.thecatalinaislander.com/article/catalina-island-tall-ship-sold-caribbean-company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tole_Mour |
