Today's Tall Ship Tuesday takes a peak at SSV Ernestina-Morrissey of @Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Making her Tall Ships Galveston debut this April 13-16, 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 and later brought immigrants to the U.S. under the power of sail. The ship returned to the US in 1982 as a gift from the newly independent Cape Verdean people. She sailed as an educator until 2005.More recently, ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY completed a multi-year restoration effort. For years to come, she will serve as an educational asset, teaching upcoming generations about the majesty of the oceans, the history of sail navigation, the strength of the Cape Verdean people, and the ties that bind them all together.Onboard pass holders will be able to walk on and see the restoration firsthand during the event.
