Ernestina Morrisey Tall Ship details

Ernestina Morrisey Tall Ship details

Good Morning all I hope allis well with you

I have shared a couple of post of the tall Ship the Ernestina Morrisey when I saw it docked in the port here in New Bedford, a beautiful grand old ship which as I understand it was recently returned to surface after being in dry dock for quite a while for repairs and restoration and I must say to e it looks like they did a great job it looks in such great condition.

The schooner Ernestina-Morrissey, was built in 1894 at the James and Tarr Shipyard for the Gloucester fishing fleet. Under Captain Bob Bartlett she sailed to within 600 miles of the North Pole,

Which I always think is pretty impressive back in those days in such a ship and without modern technology.

It was later brought immigrants to the U.S. under the power of sail. Returned to the US in 1982 as a gift from the newly independent Cape Verdean people, she sailed as an educator until 2005.
She is primarily docked in New Bedford I believe but is currently in Texas for a Tall ships event

I have no idea what this little wooden box holds but it caught my eye, looking at the little white things by it, which look similar to GPS equipment on masts I wonder if that is what it houses.

OF course one other thing that caught my eye is the ropes and pulleys so I got a few shots of those

That is quite interesting how they have added some modern flair to such an old ship like that. It is cool that they used it as a training ship for people. I've seen stuff like that in the movies, but never heard of it in practice. Very neat!

Interesting the little bits of technology tucked away on this old ship 🙂 but the ropes and pulleys are what catches your eye. Nice shots.

Thanks yeah the technology sort of takes away from the era but travelling all the way to Texas perhaps are needed these days

I love the perspective on these shots, and I just really like how you pull me right into the post. It makes it feel personal.

I have no real idea what the piece is, but, I think you may be right that it houses something like a GPS or the like.

Always great to see what you are posting about! Thank you!

Have a grat rest of your day.
