15-year old Brianna Thom wasn’t shanghaied into serving on a ship like in days of old, but voluntarily signed up to join the only all-female tall ship crew in the world. The Green Bay teen boards the Unicorn to spend a week as part of the “Sisters Under Sail” program. The program’s goal is to help young women learn that they can be self-resilient… on board the ship and in life.

Listen to another story of what happened when Wisconsin Life spent a week on a Tall Ship.
