Captain Tom Ellis of the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon
Captain Tom Ellis, skipper of the Schooner ThomasĀ E. Lannon, hanging the ensign andĀ drying out the sails after a rainstorm.
Captain Tom explains that in days gone by this would be a common sight in Gloucester Harbor, to see crews opening their sailsĀ to dry. Although it’s not necessary today because sails are constructed of synthetic fiber rather than cotton, on the Lannon, they dry their sails so that when the schooner departsĀ with guests on board, theĀ passengers don’tĀ get dousedĀ whenĀ the sailsĀ are unfurled.
In his spare time, Captain Elllis hand carvesĀ beautiful whirlygigs.Ā
