Bringing the Ernestina-Morrissey Story to the Pioneer Valley

Posted on February 23, 2014 by Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey Association

Ernestina Commissioner Fred Sterner, SEMA director Mary Anne McQuillan and Norcross WS's Jennifer Ohop by a display of Norcross memorabilia, some showing his voyages with Bartlett.

Thank You Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary for the great reception and audience for the Ernestina-Morrissey story.  Norcross sailed with Bartlett in 1931-1932-1933.  The audience really enjoyed seeing him in some of the Pathe Newsreels. Some footage of the 1932 voyage is also available from the National Archives.  We are looking forward to the day when everyone in Massachusetts knows about THEIR ship, the Ernestina ex. EffieM. Morrissey!
