A Schooner for the Ages

by Randall Peffer

Fast and able.” That’s the term the fishermen of Gloucester, Massachusetts, have used for more than 150 years to describe their vision of the perfect Grand Banks fishing schooner. And “fast and able” is how fishermen, an Arctic explorer, a Cape Verdean packet skipper, and contemporary sail-trainers describe the schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY (ex-EFFIE M. MORRISSEY, ex-ERNESTINA).

by Tim Clark

When the schooner MARY E arrived in Bath, Maine, after being sailed up the New England coast from Essex, Connecticut, she was welcomed with a party and then hauled out and trailered to the grounds of the Maine Maritime Museum.
