A few shot of the Ernestina Morrisey Ship
Good Morning, today I will share a few shots of the Tall Ship Ernestina Morrisey, taking over the last year at various walks around the port

the schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY, was built at the James and Tarr Shipyard for the Gloucester fishing fleet at a cost of $16,000 and launched on February 1, 1894. was owned by Captain William E. Morrissey and the John F. Wonson, Co. of Gloucester, MA. The vessel was named after Captain Morrissey’s daughter. The ship’s illustrious career began that same year, when the 156-foot-long schooner carried Gloucester fishermen to the Grand Banks, Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland in search of cod, haddock, hake, halibut, pollock, and other species and to carry freight,
Under Captain Bob Bartlett she sailed to within 600 miles of the North Pole, and 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
Well I should add when I first moved here back in 2020 and for the first couple of years, the ship was not in New Bedford, as she was undergoing repairs, but now she is back and I often see her in the port
this shot was one morning as they were just pulling out from the dock and heading off to sail somewhere

after she left the port area I drove up the coast a bit and caught this shot of it going by, I have yet to see it with the sails up but hopefully one day I will

It's cool that you have something like that so close. We have a ship around here called the Appledore. I've never been on it, but I know you can take tours on it and stuff. It actually looks like there is a whole line of those ships across the country.
Yeah it cool, they occassionaly open up this one for tours, but thus far its always been on days when I have bene busy with other things
I love the old style ships, great photos.
thanks I to love them, there was a regatta of them last month not to far from me but I was just out of hospital and couldnt check it out maybe next year
Nice

That last shot with the lights and reflections is my favorite 🙂 25 sec exposure really brings out the rich blues
Good job. Lovely indeed.
