Adventure, Fishing schooner in Gloucester, US
The Adventure measures 122 feet in length and features a gaff rig configuration, designed specifically for fishing operations in the Grand Banks.
Built in 1926 at Essex Shipyard, this vessel landed nearly 4 million dollars worth of cod and halibut during her commercial fishing career until 1953.
The vessel stands as one of only two remaining knockabout fishing schooners, representing the maritime traditions of Massachusetts fishing communities.
Visitors can participate in educational programs, public sails, and private charters operated by the non-profit organization Gloucester Adventure, Inc.
The schooner was constructed without a bowsprit, a design choice made to increase crew safety while working on the fishing grounds.
