The Bartett Watch ~ Dedications

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey Association

The Ernestina~Morrissey Crew has several diverse watches. The Bartlett Watch, with connections to the years in the Arctic, includes folks from when Newfoundlander Captain Robert A. Bartlett took “My Little Morrissey” north for 20 summers with scientists and young men exploring the northern waters and then with US Navy officers and US Army Air Corps personnel serving in World War II on missions into the North Atlantic.
