Along the Waterfront... The Schooner "ADVENTURE"

[Ron J]

The Adventure is a 122 foot Schooner, built in 1926,at the famous Shipyards at Essex Massachusetts, about 10 miles from Gloucester. Here She is, on the Gloucester Marine Railways, having some hull planking replaced. The Vessel is the Flagship of Gloucester. If you ever viewed the movie, Captains Courageous, you would see just how tough fishing was back then, and how brave the Crew were.

Made of steel, built in 1877, she sailed the world carrying cargo. Gavelston Historical society owns Her. Really nice! Never knew of that vessel before.
Wow, She is the official Tall Ship of Texas, but in trouble. The hull is in need of much repair, due to electrolysis , eating the iron. Just reading about her, she was due to be dry docked last year, 2012. Wonder how they made out, that takes a lot of money.

I built a dory based off that movie Capt Courageous..the best and fastest row boat I ever built! It would outrun racing kayaks with ease.
sold it to a lady in the state of Washington. It was also the easiest boat I ever built.[attachment 255236 rowboat.jpg]
