Ernestina Logbook Page

Date: Saturday, July 22, 2000
Time: 2200 EDT

The Schooner Ernestina is alongside the Picton Castle at Tall Ships Quay on the Halifax waterfront.

Over 500 visitors and friends of the ship came aboard during our afternoon "open ship". Among them (pictured at right) were sea cadets from Bartlett's home town of Brigus, Newfoundland, and Ted and Sharon Kearsey relative of Ansel Snow of Digby Nova Scotia. We were also pleased to have had on board on our passage from Yarmouth two grandchildren of Commander Alexander Forbes, Joe Frothingham of Dartmouth, MA and Martha Bryan of Letete, New Brunswick.

Halifax treated the crew well to an "Afterguard Dinner" held up at the Citadel, which was a wonderful place to watch the spectacular fireworks. Ernestina had a prime viewing location, berthed with the tall ships near the fireworks barge.

We would like to thank Roland Martin (liaison) and Peter Brown for their great assistance for our stay in Halifax. What a great event! Halifax is certainly a friendly port for visiting ships like ours.... people have a great sense of our maritime heritage.
