The Barque Picton Castle is a three-masted tall ship based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada but best known for sail training voyages around the world to ports in the United States and Canada, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and the Spanish Main.
The Picton Castle is tied up at the Marine Railways and will be here until Saturday morning. She and her crew came here from Newport, RI where they took part in the Ocean State Tall Ships event. Pictured above at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery are Picton Castle purser, Kate “Bob” Addison from England, and Capt. Daniel Moreland from Nova Scotia.
Each year Sail Training International recognizes excellence by handing out awards to sail trainers, volunteers and sail training organizations large and small. This year, at the conference in Toulon, France, Captain Daniel Moreland was recognized as Sail Trainer of the Year. He has sailed for years out of Gloucester, and was good friends with Joe Garland.
