Fairhaven HS Barbara Belanger and her high school
science class came out for a sail and learning
stations this morning. You can see the track in
th chart image to the right.
Tower Productions filming for
the History Channel
Jeff Martin and his film crew
took the ship out in the afternoon for some film
clips for an upcoming story about the lifesaving
corps along coastal Massachusetts during the 19th
century. They were looking for some authentic
imagery as they put together the film. There are
few more authentic sites than the National
Historic Landmark schooner Ernestina!
The lower chart track shows the
track for this sail. Ernestina staff Traudi Coli
and Tom Goux helped with some of the images as
shipwright Leon Poindexter installed a new
cathead and cleat forward.
We know Jeff Martim was looking
for a more blustery, storm tossed day but the
front got through early on in the day and cleared
out fast. Hopefully, the camera effects and
editing can build in the imagery they are looking
for!
