She was purchased in 2004 and moved to Yorktown, VA and rechristened the Alliance in honor of the American French alliance during the revolutionary war. Inland Seas Education Association acquired Alliance in 2022 as a response to increasing program demand. The name Alliance now represents the many partnerships ISEA has across the Great Lakes that make our work possible.
