THE PRIVATEER LYNX: MAGIC CAPTURED IN TIME
By James Irvine Swinden

"You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars…"

--- Thomas Traherne

There is magic in one's vision of the sea; sailing the salty brine; white sails billowing in the wind; proud privateersmen steering their sleek ships. For dreamers, the passage of time cannot diminish the lure of an adventure on the high seas. Now, bring the imaginations of generations to life aboard Lynx -- on your own voyage of a lifetime.

Feel the surge and lift of the deck as you are taken back to the days of the privateers on Lynx -- and be reminded of a bygone era, one now recaptured in her glory as a defender of our proud American heritage.

Picture yourself in period uniform or portraying a brave, young seafarer searching for new adventures. Hear the snap of her historic old ensign -- visit historic ports and learn priceless lessons. Assist the crew in hoisting her strong, taut canvas to strain against the wind and be pulled into a voyage of self-discovery that transcends traditional classroom history or literature.

Know firsthand the endless power and infinite variety that is the sea. On Lynx, lose the cares of our modern world and find yourself again. Live what you have read and been told -- be transported to an ageless time of personal growth and awareness beyond your wildest dreams.

Go back in time and discover the magic in your world today.
