Center For Living History, Inc

  Welcome to the Center for Living History, Inc web page. Here you will find the latest information about our Cyane tall ship project and our school living history programs.

We are currently completing our business plan which has been requested by potential donors and also required for federal funding. In this current economy, fundraising is difficult at best, so we are using this time to continue our research on the Cyane. We are also using this time to work on our school programs and complete the outfitting for several new programs in the works.

To move this project forward we need volunteers with fundraising, grantwriting and corporate sponsership capabilities. We have the plans, Shipwright and several possible building sites, all is needed are the funds to build this ship. Our first goal is to raise $50,000 for the items listed below:

$30,000 for Shipwright Allen Rawl to draw up a prelimanry set of plans.

$4,000 for a scale model of the Cyane for displays and fundraisers.

$7,800 for Uniforms and Equipment for our Sloat landing school program.

$6,500 for maintenance and insurance for our ships boats to get them ready for sail programs.

$1,500 for fliers, brochures, ships plans copies and misc printing.

$400 for mannequins to display costumes during events.

This is just the first step of a journey that will one day see the Cyane in Monterey Bay again. Together we can make this project happen, thank you so much for your interest and support.

We are happy to announce the addition of Allen Rawl of Allen C. Rawl, Inc.  Mr Rawl will be our consulting shipwright and a valuable member of our Cyane Tall Ship Project team. Welcome aboard Allen!
