This ship has eluded me. In the few times I have sailed into New Haven Harbor, I did not see the Quinnipiack. I also attempted to stop by the Long Wharf Pier several times last year, but unfortunately the schooner was not in port (She was in Mystic and then Essex). Last month on a rainy day, I spotted her mast as I made my way south along Interstate 95.
Built in Millbridge, Maine in 1984, the Quinnipiack resembles the freight schooners that sailed the Gulf Coast during the late 19th century. 91 feet long overall, her deck is 65 feet long and 20 feet wide. She originally was used for day sails in Bar Harbor, Maine before arriving in New Haven in 1990.
