"I am a bird"
She's a beauty. What kind of rig is that? With a single main & two foresails it would be a cutter, but 2 fore and 2 main?
That's an eastern schooner rig with a "fisherman's staysail" rigged between the sprit and foremast.
From about 1850 to 1950 that is what was used to fish for cod on Grand and Georges banks offshore of New England and Canada.
The Ernestina Morrissey is probably one of the best examples still sailing.
Built in 1894, she was just renovated and completed sea trials in October of this year after being acquired by Mass. Maritime Academy.
She'll be used as a training vessel, and will also take passengers on sailing cruises.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
