From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
he Evelina M. Goulart is an 83-foot (25.2-meter) fishing schooner built by Arthur D. Story in the Story Shipyard (now the Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum) in 1927. She is one of seven surviving Essex-built fishing schooners and the only one to be virtually unchanged from its original configuration. At some point in her life she was converted into a fishing dragger, being fitted with an engine for the purpose.
Throughout her life she was primarily used for swordfishing. In 1985 Hurricane Gloria touched down in the New England area and damaged the stern of the Goulart. Tied up to the wharf and retired, her engine was removed. At some point the bilge pumps failed and the vessel sank.
In 1990 Evelina M. Goulart was donated to the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. Housed in an open-sided shed, the ship was intended as an example of ship construction, once the ship was stabilized. However the hull is badly deteriorated and the vessel may end its days at the breakers, with only the significant portions preserved for the future.
A worthy project. To find out how you can become involved check out the Essex Shipbuilding Museum Website

Here is the first installment of the restoration project updates for the Lazy Daizy Evelina M Goulart. I’ll be doing regular updates to document the progress on this worthy project at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum.

If you take the picture just right you can almost avoid getting all the busted planks on the lower hull in the frame. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause – contact Essex Shipbuilding Museum

The model shown here is in much better shape than the actual boat that is up in drydock at The Essex Shipbuilding Museum.
