MOno Monday the Ernestine Morrisey
Good Morning all another week begins and as is my habit I will be sharing a few mono Images today
I know I have shared a few shots of this boat before most recently last week, but I visited the port the other day and saw it was back in port and could not resist getting some new photos,
the schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY, was built in 1894 at the James and Tarr Shipyard for the Gloucester fishing fleet. Under Captain Bob Bartlett she sailed to within 600 miles of the North Pole, and later brought immigrants to the U.S. under the power of sail. Returned to the US in 1982 as a gift from the newly independent Cape Verdean people, she sailed as an educator until 2005.
and being a classic old sail ship I felt a post with mono images of some of the details of it seemed fitting for a few of them I went with a sepia feel as I just find that seems to work well in my option for historic views
starting with this shot of the dinghy tied up on the side of the boat

I guess this is the opposite of the sails which with the wind enable tit to sail from place to place, the anchor to moor it in place when they need to stop
