From the May 14th Martha's Vineyard Patch by Mathea Morais.
The 1812 bicentennial clipper-schooner Lynx, a 122-feet long, square rigged tipsail schooner came to Martha's Vineyard May 16th and docked at Tisbury Wharf for five days.
The 110 ton ship is an interpretation of what a privateer schooner back in 1812 would have looked like and is fitted out with period ordnance and flies flafs and pennants from the era.
Sorry I Missed It.
GOOD NEWS
The Lynx will be coming back August 24-27. Today, it is in Marblehead, Massachusetts until the 14th. Then Nantucket Aug. 14-23rd. Then, on to Greenport, New York.
