Mono Monday the Ernistina Morrisey
Good morning another week begins may it be a good one for you
in Last Fridays Market Friday post here I shared some photos of the Schooner the Ernistina Morrisey a grand old ship and I took a bunch of photos of it.
I thought it warranted editing some of them in Mono which I feel gives a timeless kind of feel which seemed fitting for this ship.

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,
Which I always think is pretty impressive back in those days in such a ship and without modern technology.
It was 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.
She is primarily docked in New Bedford I believe but is currently in Texas for a Tall ships event
The guy in the small dinghy at the front of the boat gives a sense of its size.

After leaving the port area heading out to the open waters, it got to this spot and I was hoping it would raise its sails and sail away but it sat at this spot for ages and I eventually gave up and headed home
