Share our Heritage – Sail Ardelle
Sail on an authentic, traditionally-built Cape Ann vessel out of Gloucester’s historic waterfront. Designed and built by master shipwright Harold Burnham and a devoted crew of craftsmen, the schooner Ardelle is a delight. Fast and sleek, comfortable and stable, the schooner Ardelle is ideal for a private event or public sail. We sail daily from Maritime Gloucester in the heart of the city. During our trips we share our knowledge about our region’s fishing, shipbuilding, and cultural heritage and our communities’ schooner legacy.
Here is what our customers say so far:
“We sailed with you guys and had a blast. My wife and I are from Crown Point, IN (Northwest Indiana). We sail on Lake Michigan. I will recommend you to everyone. Thanks for such a good time!”
Congratulations on the launch of the “Ardelle” – she’s a beauty! I’ve followed her construction on Good Morning Gloucester. Your dedication to the Essex shipbuilding traditions is becoming well known all up and down the coast.
Please ask us about student trips and educational programs, too. For more information please call Harold Burnham at 978-290-7168 or email us at haburnham@gmail.com.
