Huh. That's Philly's tall ship, which was built in 1901 in the shipyard of J.
M. Mendes in Setubal, Portugal to fish the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. She
has called Philadelphia home since 1971.
Here she is in June 2015, at the Tall Ships Philly.
Thanks for the post. You got her with sails!
I was surprised to learn she continued to fish into 1969.
