The first official duty of the Whitehall Spirit was assisting during the christening ceremony of the ‘Robert C. Seamens’
The Whitehall Spirit 17 is now called the ‘Gene’ named after the wife of Dr. Seamans. For the past three years the ‘Gene’ has traveled the high seas helping students and crew enjoy learning practical seamanship and small boat handling under oars and sail.
