Oliver Hazard Perry Passing Ten PoundĀ Island on the way to Cape Pond Ice
Thanks to Scott Memhard for the heads up that the magnificent Oliver Hazard Perry was docking at Cape Pond Ice this morning. While the Ice House crew provided the ship with water, which takes several hours, the PerryĀ crew took a tour of Cape Pond Ice and then had an hour to tour around Gloucester. The OHP takes no passengers, everyone aboard is a working crew member or working student.
Although this is the Perry’s maiden voyage, the captain and crew did an excellent job docking the ship. She is anchored atĀ Rockport Harbor this evening.Ā The Oliver Hazard Perry will be returning to Gloucester in September for a longer stay and at that time, the public will be able to tour the ship. See my post from yesterday withĀ photos of the Oliver Hazard Perry sailing into GloucesterĀ andĀ a link to track the Perry.

These photos were taken as the sun was setting, fromĀ Stage Fort Park, on my way home fromĀ Manchester last night. How beautifulĀ to catch a glimpse of thisĀ grand ship anchored in ourĀ harborĀ andĀ adjacent to the Eastern Point Lighthouse. Folks enjoying dinner at the park were referring to it as the “pirate ship.” HereĀ in Gloucester HarborĀ for one night only, Rhode Island’sĀ tall ship the Oliver Hazard Perry will be returning in September.Ā
