That Ship Has Sailed

Posted on by Nichole S.

That ship has sailed….well, actually, The Ship has sailed.

I’m not sure how I missed this fact until just last weekend, because I’m fairly certain I’ve been by since its demolition, but regardless…it is gone.

What’s next?  Hilltop or the Orange Dinosaur Mini Golf….oh, wait.

Local fun fact:  I read last night that the ship was actually built by a retired Gloucester sea captain named James F. Wilkinson….back in 1925.

  2. The ship that was recently torn down was not the original “ship” built at that location. It was built around the 70s. and looked like the stern of a sailing ship. The “ship” that was there before that, was a white steamship likeness that was a whole ship, not just the stern. The original restaurant was named: “SHIPS HAVEN”.
