The Los Angeles Maritime Institute TopSail Youth Program provides sail training adventures for youth from its headquarters in San Pedro, Calif. Currently, the program is based in twin 99-ton brigantines, Irving Johnson and Exy Johnson. A third ship, the Swift of Ipswich, is undergoing a refit, including replacing the keel, and is due to reenter service in TK.
