The vessel has held three distinguished careers, the fourth leg of her journey as an educational vessel interrupted by
fiscal crisis. Her unique character has seen many transformations: She is the oldest remaining Grand Banks fishing
schooner; She is the only ship afloat that explored the Arctic under sail; She is the last remaining ship to have
carried immigrants to America and the only Tall Ship to have brought African people to the U.S. as new citizens.
Ernestina is a model of vigor and survival in urgent
need of our attention. Let's keep her sailing and shaping lives with wonder and discovery.
