Adventure on the Railways

Posted on February 11, 2012 by

The Adventure organization is beginning 2012 at a rapid pace with our goal to have Adventure sailing in the 2012 Schooner Festival. She will not be completed, just able to sail with crew. On February 13th we plan to be hauled on the South railways at Gloucester Marine Railways starting at 2:30PM. We will then have the masts pulled within the next few days. I will schedule this project as soon as Adventure is on the rails

That will be a photo op! Mayer Tree Service is coming with a 270’ crane to pull 92’ masts out of a vessel 25’ in the air. Wasn’t sure if anyone from GMG, maybe EJ or Kim Smith might be interested. We will be going back in the water while calculations are determined for the engine bed, engine installation, water tight bulkheads , and ballast etc., but will be out again on the North railways the beginning of April to complete this phase.

About E.J.

Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer. Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.
