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.

Fair Winds,

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.
