The Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the maritime history of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The organization was established in 1988 and since then, it has been working tirelessly to preserve the city's maritime heritage by restoring, maintaining, and operating historic vessels.

The Guild is housed in a historic shipyard along the Delaware River in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. The facility includes a museum where visitors can learn about the city's maritime history and view the Guild's collection of historic vessels.

The Guild's main focus is on the preservation of the historic sailing vessel Gazela, which was built in 1901 and is the oldest wooden square-rigger still sailing in the United States.

In addition to Gazela, the Guild also operates the tugboat Jupiter and the schooner Lettie G. Howard. Both vessels are used for educational programs and public events.
