Ownership of the histori- cal teaching vessel has been turned over to a nonprofit called Discovering Amistad Inc. Ownership of the schooner was trans- ferred to Discovering Amistad following allocation of state bond funds for the pur- chase of the ship by the new organization. A Superior Court judge officially dissolved the now-defunct charitable organization, Amistad America Inc., at the state's request. The state took action after revelations that Amistad America's tax-exempt status had been revoked by the IRS and that the orga- nization had accumulated significant debts. A court-approved advisory committee recommended the formation of a new non- profit to oversee the ship. Gail Gilmore John Lemire Mike Jalbert Ray Andrewsen Dr. Sebastian T.
