Save the Dates

While the ship's rehabilitation continues in Boothbay Harbor, Ernestina-Morrissey "sails" in the hearts and minds of those who love her. Hope to see you in Gloucester, or New Bedford, Boston, or ....

In the Shipyard

It is amazing to watch the shipwrights a work on Ernestina-Morrissey's rehabilitation. Take a look at the progress

A Busy Summer

Summer 2016 has been busy with

Ernestina-Morrissey volunteers working

to keep the ship in the public eye while the rehabilitation proceeds. In Maine and through Massachusetts at festivals and celebrations more people are "meeting" Ernestina-Morrissey.

The mission now is introducing the Official Vessel of the Commonwealth and her amazing history to a wide constituency. She is recognized as one of the most significant historic vessels. Please help us spread the word about "our" vessel far and wide! Share! Share! Share!

Thank You, Fred Sterner
