Sailing Schooner Ernestina has returned safely to her homeport in the historic New England whaling city of New Bedford, MA, after an extensive refit. A portion of the refit was completed locally, and more extensive work done to the forward portion of the hull at the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard in Maine. Ernestina has a proud storied history dating back to her construction in Essex, MA, in 1894.

Check out the pictorial of her repairs and an accompanying article in the local paper at the Ernestina website
