Blackstone buys a San Diego harbor and sends eviction notice to a 137ft tall ship. "I have nowhere to go"

A beloved San Diego Bay tall ship could be forced out of its home by corporate heavyweights.

The 137ft schooner Bill of Rights, moored in Chula Vista Harbor since 2013, has served for years as a floating classroom and sail‑training powerhouse for Sea Scouts, US Navy Sea Cadets, JROTC programs and other youth groups.

Now it has been hit with a sudden eviction notice from its longtime slip.

Captain Don Johnson, who has led the schooner’s community programs for decades, told reporters bluntly, “I have nowhere to go.”

Safe Harbor Marina is now owned by Blackstone Infrastructure, a massive investment firm that bought the company in a $5 billion deal last year.
