Tall Ship Sail: Schooner Thomas E. Lannon

Set sail on a meticulously crafted 65-foot Gloucester schooner, a living tribute to the legendary fishing vessels that defined this port for centuries. Watching the sails fill over Gloucester Harbor is an image of pure, timeless New England beauty.

What to expect

As the schooner clears the harbor and the city skyline recedes, crew members share the storied history of Gloucester's fishing heritage under full canvas. Guests may take the helm, haul on the lines, or simply settle on deck with a drink and watch the coastline drift by. Sunsets from the water are extraordinary. Evening sails frequently include live folk music on deck.
