| Schooner Ernestina is docked at Penns
Landing, Phildelphia for the weekend alongside
the Workshop Barge at Independence Seaport.
Battleship Olympia is nearby. Boy Scout Troop 444
is not only helping the crew with public tours
during the afternoon but up in the city exploring
during the day. They board a plane for Tennessee
Sunday morning. Saturday
morning the Boy Scouts awarded the crew an
engraved wooden plaque of Tennessee and cooked
them an authentic southern breakfast.
Philadelphia is hometown to
both of Ernestina's captains, Willi Bank and
Amanda Madeira. There has been some interest in
the experience Ernestina had during "The
Perfect Storm" in October/November 1991 as a
result of the son-to-be-released movie. Ernestina
had a couple articles in the papers....
Wind: SW light
Visibility: Reduced in hot, hazy weather
Captain: Willi
Bank
Program Coordinator: Crista Mellican
