Join eleventh-generation boat builder Harold Burnham for a special evening presentation!

Join eleventh-generation New England boat builder Harold Burnham for a special evening presentation to learn about the restoration of the historic Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey. His insightful presentation will draw upon his extensive experience at sea and techniques learned in the famous shipyards of Essex, MA. 1 hour talk followed by a Q&A. $5 general admission; free for FHC members. 

Growing up in a family of shipbuilders and a town where shipbuilding is a tradition handed down over generations, Harold has learned the standards of the past and traditional techniques. He has carved out a place in history as a master mariner, boat designer, shipwright, and sail maker. Like his ancestors before him, Harold has a holistic approach to vessel design, construction and operation. Harold holds a bachelor’s degree in Maritime Transportation and Fisheries from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.
