The Galleon swinging ship was installed in 1987 and promptly removed after the 1989 season. It was located in Logger's Run in a very secluded corner of the area. Pictured in front of the ride is park owner Howard Berni who was supervising the installation of the ride during the spring of 1987.

The ship, built in Italy by Zamperla, was a 60-foot pirate ship that swung riders in a 200-degree arc. [Photo credit: Debby Berni Robison]
Right after the park opened in 2002, the swinging ship returned to the park's ride line-up as this photo shows while the construction was taking place. [Photo credit: Scott Fowler]	Support poles rest in the eating area awaiting installation [Photo credit: Kevin Miller]
