The Ernestina-Morrissey is starting to come together and the photos are AMAZING!  I hope you enjoy our latest Update. 
Remember, SEMA is raising funds to complete this work.  Please consider a donation today
The summer season brings festivals and an opportunity to keep Ernestina-Morrissey "in mind" while she is "out of sight".  Check the Upcoming Events on the website often for the latest "goings on" and please volunteer to help out.

Commission Programming Initiative

The summer use of the ship is still a few years away but the Schooner Ernestina Commission is beginning to plan for Summer Programming when the ship returns to homeport, New Bedford.  If you would like to participate in this conversation please CONTACT US.  Help the Commission prepare for the very best future for Ernestina-Morrissey!  
 
Amazing Oak!

Oaks ready for harvest in Denmark
Materials procurement has been one important facet of this first year's work by Boothbay Harbor Shipyard and with the help of Harold Burnham, DCR's owner's representative on the project, they have stockpiled some amazing wood including Danish oak and Georgian live oak for Ernestina-Morrissey's rehabilitation.

Shipwrights at Work

The work on Ernestina-Morrissey's rehabilitation is just amazing and beautiful.  Much of the credit goes to the shipwrights who have the very best materials to work with.  Take a look at this post on the website to see just how beautiful and amazing!
