- Former Gloucester Fishing Schooner Lettie G. Howard
Rumor has it that the Lettie G. Howard, the Essex built 1893
schooner berthed at the Seaport Museum New York (formerly South Street Seaport Museum)) in New York City is for sale. The 125 foot Lettie G. operated from Gloucester during her first eight years
and spent many years plying the coastal waters of the Yucatan Penninsula. She was sold to the South Street Seaport Museum in 1968, declared a National Historic Landmark in 1988, restored in 1993 and is certified as a training and working museum ship. She stopped running her east coast educational voyages in
2008.
Wouldn’t it be nice to bring the Lettie G. home to Gloucester as an addition to our growing fleet of historic educational vessels?
Good Morning Gloucester 
What a beautiful vessel. She definitely belongs back on Gloucester harbor. Any idea what they might be asking for her?

DID YOU HEAR THAT JOEY!? Our own GMG schooner! I think the color version of the logo would look nice on the sail…

For what they want for it (I hear 3 million) you could build three new ones I’m guessing.
