Heads Up Schooner Committee and other key parties – I spoke to the captain of the Schooner Columbia and this 175′ replica schooner will be arriving in Gloucester Harbor next Thursday morning around 10am. (August 27th). The owner and builder, Brian D’Isernia, will be on board.
More information to follow next week but we want to give them a grand welcome and think about best ways to generate a “schooner mob” for this welcome home trip.

The Schooner Colombia was built in 1923 and sank in 1927. It was built as a racer but has a storied history in it’s short 4 year life. When it sank it lost all hands and those names are on the Cenotaph on the plaque representing 1927.
Watch the video and see the construction in which no expense was spared. What a thing of beauty.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Ending out the summer well done! 🙂 Dave & Kim:-)
