The schooner Ardelle is enroute to Washington, D.C. at this time with six crew aboard including Bruce Slifer, Henry Szostek, Mike "Doc" Dyer, Fred Ebinger, Pierre Erhard, Bob Brophy of Essex and Harold. All of the crew were key in helping build the Ardelle during 2010-2011 and there seems to be a talent pool deeper than the Atlantic out there so they seem to be doing great. They appear to be quite optimistic they will get to D.C. before this weekend and are now in the Cheseapeake. We wish them fair winds and hope they reach their destination safely. Good luck all and you have lots of folks following your route on the GPS...or just getting updates. A great maritime voyage and wonderful sea story! You can track the schooner's progress by going <a href="http://www.marinetraffic.com/" target="_blank">here and typing in the name of the vessel. </a> or try this http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/#<br />
<br />
The Gloucester Daily Times has a story this week about their voyage and the good people at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum are sending updates via the crew and posting it on their Facebook page so do go to the ESM Facebook page or schooner ardelle page or maritime gloucester page. Here is the story in the GDT with Maria Burnham quoted. Nice job! http://www.gloucestertimes.com/local/x708369759/Burnham-sailing-to-pick-up-award-in-DC<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know exactly why the Ardelle is heading to D.C. here is the story in the Boston Globe.<br />

We have been sorely neglecting our unsung heroes of the boatyard and would feel remiss if we did not say what an awesome job Bruce Slifer, with the help of Bernie Power and Mike Dyer, have been doing on building new spars for the Schooner Adventure. What Bruce and Bernie are celebrating is the whiskey plank..so to speak...on the new Adventure boom seen in the bottom picture. They have been working through mud, rain, and heat to fit together and epoxy in place the pieces for this massive 65-foot Fir main boom. Great job Bruce and Bernie and you are truly the schooner Adventures' secret weapons...and have been working as volunteers without fanfare or much thanks and doing a great job!</div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Washington, DC — “Basketmaking for me is about innovation and creativity within the context of a traditional art form,” said basketmaker and 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellow Molly Neptune Parker. The same words apply to all recipients of the 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellows, which recognizes folk and traditional artists for their artistic excellence and efforts to conserve America’s culture for future generations. The fellowships are the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts, and include a one-time award of $25,000.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Throughout their careers, these artists have honored the history of their art forms while also incorporating their own creativity and innovation to carry the art forms into the 21st century. For example, Harold Burnham, 11th-generation in a line of boat designers and builders, creates his vessels using hand tools and incorporating locally harvested wood, just as members of his family did some 300 years ago. However, while rooted in the past, Burnham's designs demonstrate his own blend of form and function. Another 2012 fellow, Leonardo "Flaco" Jiménez, learned to play the accordion from his father, a giant of this early Texan-Mexican tradition, but then went <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8473785848367844587" name="13804ee75ffade6f__GoBack" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;"></a>on to collaborate with contemporary musicians such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Ry Cooder. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This year’s nine recipients are masters of diverse traditional art forms, including two that have never before been honored through the National Heritage Fellowships: Okinawan dancing and dog sled and snowshoe building. In addition, for the first time ever, the NEA is recognizing a director of a state arts agency for his work in promoting the importance of the folk and traditional arts in defining and giving life to a community.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

King, Cajun fiddler and composer Michael Doucet, cowboy poet Wally McRae, gospel and soul singer Mavis Staples, and bluegrass musician Bill Monroe. Since 1982, the Arts Endowment has awarded 368 NEA National Heritage Fellowships. Fellowship recipients are nominated by the public, often by members of their own communities, and then judged by a panel of experts in folk and traditional arts on the basis of their continuing artistic accomplishments and contributions as practitioners and teachers. This year the panel reviewed 200 nominations for the nine fellowships. The ratio of winners to nominees indicates the select nature of this national honor.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Well, we finally have the chance to announce the awesome news that Harold Burnham received a National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship...particularly in the folk and heritage arts. So, we see that the announcement was made today. Harold is really, really happy about this coveted award and he had a lot of great people over the years rooting for him to win this lifetime achievement award. On Oct. 1, he will go to Washington, D.C. to receive the award from ... well, maybe from the First Lady .... followed by a dinner at the Library of Congress and ending with a big concert/show with the other recipients. We hope you will join me in congratulating Harold. On the NEA website, there is a great video of the building of the schooner FAME. <a href="http://www.nea.gov/honors/heritage/fellows/fellow.php?id=2012_03&type=bio" style="color: #45818e; text-decoration: none;">Enjoy! </a><br />

<br />
From the National Endowment of the Arts Website<br />
<br />
A master craftsman and dedicated student of design, Harold Burnham is the 28th member of his extended family to run an Essex shipyard -- a tradition that dates back to 1819 and includes 11 generations of his family.</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
Essex is a shipbuilding mecca -- a small town where the time-honored craft of traditional wooden boat building has been alive and well since the early 17th century. In the last 400 years, the town has produced more than 4,000 ships. In today's age of fiberglass boat construction, Burnham is widely considered to be the expert on working with wood. His designs are frequently praised for blending the traditional wood craftsmanship with today's safety and design standards.</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
In 1996, Burnham was commissioned to build a 65-foot charter schooner, the<em>Thomas E Lannon</em>. The success of this project led to several other large commissions, including the <em>Lewis H. Story,</em> a boat that travels throughout New England representing Essex's maritime tradition.</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
Not only is Burnham a highly skilled craftsman, but he also has extensive experience operating and studying ships and marine life. He graduated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
With deep roots in his community, Burnham is passionate about sharing his extensive knowledge with those he works with. In 2001, he received a Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) grant in the traditional arts, and in 2003 received a MCC Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grant. Harriet Webster, executive director of the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, praised Burnham's community involvement, "When Harold undertakes a project, it inevitably becomes a community project. He involves both skilled craftsmen and enthusiastic community members in the work, demonstrating and teaching as he goes. In the process, not only does he build fine boats, but he nourishes a community of individuals that develops an appreciation for and understanding of this traditional art form -- and determination to help keep that tradition alive."</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
In a 2011 interview with the <em>Cape Ann Beacon</em>, Burnham said, "Up into the last few years I considered building boats something that I wanted to do, and now I feel like it is something I want to preserve. Like an endangered species, once it's gone it can't be recreated. And so, I am happy to share what I have learned with anyone who takes an interest in the hopes that these skills will be carried on long after I am gone."</div>

Happy Father's Day to and from the men who built the schooner Ardelle - pictured here last year on a lobster break thanks so Steve Willard. We have had a lot of fun with these guys - almost all Dads' and really good Dads, too! We hope you consider taking your Dad for a sail this weekend on the Ardelle. Our sail times are on the <a href="http://schoonerardelle.com/" style="color: #45818e; text-decoration: none;">website</a><br />

OK, we know this will embarrass and perhaps frustrate young Alden but we have to say this was a week or so of milestones. Alden Burnham graduated from Manchester-Essex Regional High School and did so in great style..finishing off a great career with the high school band, and winning the national John Philips Sousa award, also Alden took a beautiful girl named Nicole to the senior prom and basically took that diploma at a great graduation ceremony this past Friday night in style. This coming Thursday night we are going to have his graduation party on the Ardelle. Alden will be heading to Boston University on Sept. 1 so we do feel we need to take this opportunity to say you are one to watch, Alden, you will be great.<br />

He is the 28th Burnham to operate a shipyard in Essex since 1819, Growing up in a family of shipbuilders and a town where shipbuilding is a tradition handed down over the generations, Harold has learned the standards of the past and traditional techniques. Harold Burnham has carved out a place in history as a master boat designer, shipwright and sailmaker. Like his ancestors before him, Harold has a holistic approach to vessel design, construction and operation which makes him uniquely efficient. In addition to holding a bachelor’s degree in maritime transportation and fisheries from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, he draws upon extensive experience at sea, and of course, techniques learned in the famous shipyards of Essex.

Folks have been wondering why there have been fewer posts on the Boatbuilding with Burnham blog. Well, we have wondered if perhaps because it is the height of the sailing season there may not be quite so much interest in life around the yard. It is now past mid-summer and the sailing on the Ardelle has been devine. Check out the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAIL-Ardelle/218566014829844" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page and <a href="http://schoonerardelle.com/" target="_blank">schoonerardelle </a>website for any photos, fun updates or information of go to <a href="http://www.maritimegloucester.org/" target="_blank">Maritime Gloucester</a>.<br />
<br />
This blog has been around for nearly two years and it was authored up until now by me...Laurie Fullerton and I lived in the house while the rest of you came to the yard each day to work on the schooner or then read about it here. Like so many other aspects of living in a boatyard and writing about the world around you, life becomes pretty public and the life I described in this blog seemed to draw so many people to our yard and everyone enjoyed seeing their own contributions documented and appreciated here. The blog was started to document the building of the schooner Ardelle and what it really was about was all of you...people who worked on the schooner, came into the yard, people who became good friends, people whom we loved. I tried to bring the experience of being a part of the building of the schooner Ardelle to life by celebrating all of those who helped and took part in it. I confess while the boat is sailing everyday in the charter trade we are finding that images tell the story so well that we urge you to go and have a look at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAIL-Ardelle/218566014829844?ref=hl" target="_blank">SailArdelle</a> page. . If you want to be a part of the stories of the life on board the Ardelle, for now do check out the Facebook page or just go down to Mariitme Gloucester and go for a sail. You won't regret it!!<a href="http://www.schoonerardelle.com/" target="_blank">www.schoonerardelle.com</a><br />

We had great weather last night for a special sail to celebrate the launch of the schooner Ardelle. It was one year ago last July 9, 2011 that the schooner splashed down into the Essex river in front of about 2500 people. It was a textbook Essex side launch that occurred at high tide about 6 p.m in the evening. What a sight is was. And, a year later here's Capt. Harold Burnham doing what he loves! It would not have been possible without the amazing help of all of the shipwrights, friends and family who helped us out! Thank you again...we could not have done it without you. <br />

A great reporter/writer named Bridgit Murphy from Associate Press spent some time here last week and we think she did a great job with this story. She quoted a lot of folks we admire like Tom Ellis, Justin Dimitri, Molly Bolster and Maggie Holtzberg. Great job, Bridgit and although the byline is simply The Associated Press we know you did a nice story and we thank you!<br />

ESSEX, Mass. (AP) — With a river basin view that mesmerizes, out-of-towners might miss the tree trunks stacked along the street by Harold Burnham's shipyard. But locals see these mounds of mostly white oak for what they are: the building blocks of the Massachusetts shipwright's dreams.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This is the raw stuff that makes its way from the street to the sea, helping Burnham keep afloat a wooden boatbuilding culture in a town known for constructing more two-masted wooden fishing schooners than anywhere else in the world.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Many see the 45-year-old Burnham as a master of a dying art. The Essex-born shipwright uses locally harvested wood and hand tools to build schooners at Burnham Boat Building with a modern adaptation of the same techniques builders used on this waterfront land in Colonial times.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Burnham recently captured recognition by winning one of nine $25,000 heritage fellowships the National Endowment for the Arts awards annually. The prize is meant to pay tribute to his craftsmanship and mission to preserve a part of American culture for future generations.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"This craft is so tied to place, in a way it's reconnected a town with its shipbuilding heritage that's sort of been lost," said Maggie Holtzberg, who manages the folk arts and heritage program for Massachusetts Cultural Council.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Burnham is the 28th member of his extended family to run a shipyard in Essex since the town incorporated in 1819, a tradition he can trace back 11 generations on the same land.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"It's as if he was born and had to do this," said Molly Bolster, who runs the New Hampshire maritime nonprofit Gundalow Company.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Burnham sees wooden boatbuilding not as family history, but as a local culture he helps perpetuate with local resources. Any wood that doesn't go toward boat construction fuels stoves that heat the yard's lofting shop — and the house on the same land where Burnham lives with his family.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The father of two went to school at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, working as a merchant mariner on commercial ships and building wooden boats when he was onshore, before giving his current occupation a go full-time in the 1990s.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
He got a boost in 1996, when someone hired him to build a 65-foot vessel. Then 29 years old, Burnham built Thomas E. Lannon, which nowadays takes schoolchildren on sailing charters out of the fishing town of Gloucester.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Burnham counts each of his six schooners as a triumph and credits his community for helping him preserve his town's maritime culture. He said his pursuit is really about keeping the art form going with the hope it won't end with him.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"It's been extremely difficult to have even built six," Burnham said. "But what I'm proud of, they all worked and they've been extremely well loved and taken care of by their owners."</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Friends pitch in during construction phases, and thousands of locals show up when a craft creaks its way down greased slabs to splash into the water for the first time.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"He's not afraid to call his boats beautiful, because it's not just his work," said Tom Ellis, who commissioned Thomas E. Lannon. "It's the community's and everyone who came before him."</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Burnham mills the wood he uses at the shipyard, preparing piles for the next schooner order he's always hoping will come in. When one does, Burnham designs, engineers, and constructs the vessel before he and his team launch it into the creek just off the Essex River.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Last year, he tried something new by building a boat for himself. The shipwright said he was going slowly broke at the time, but friends, family and community members kicked in materials and labor to get the 45-ton vessel built.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Now Burnham's captaining that 58-foot schooner Ardelle on summer charters from a dock behind a maritime heritage center in Gloucester.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="color: black; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"With every boat, his reputation builds and it's not just that he's a throwback to the olden days," said Justin Demetri, a historian at Essex Shipbuilding Museum across the creek from Burnham's shipyard. "One man is almost encapsulating my whole museum."</div>

Figures. An 11th-generation Essex shipbuilder, Burnham built the 55-foot pinky schooner Ardelle, which he was docking at Gloucester Maritime on Wednesday morning, along with a number of other wooden ships that still sail local waters.</div>

This week, Burnham was announced as one of nine recipients of 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellowships, the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. His fellow honorees include Tejano accordionist Leonardo “Flaco” Jiménez and dobro player Mike Auldridge.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been sorely neglecting our unsung heroes of the boatyard and would feel remiss if we did not say what an awesome job Bruce Slifer, with the help of Bernie Power and Mike Dyer, have been doing on building new spars for the Schooner Adventure. What Bruce and Bernie are celebrating is the whiskey plank..so to speak...on the new Adventure boom seen in the bottom picture. They have been working through mud, rain, and heat to fit together and epoxy in place the pieces for this massive 65-foot Fir main boom. Great job Bruce and Bernie and you are truly the schooner Adventures' secret weapons...and have been working as volunteers without fanfare or much thanks and doing a great job!</div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Washington, DC — “Basketmaking for me is about innovation and creativity within the context of a traditional art form,” said basketmaker and 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellow Molly Neptune Parker. The same words apply to all recipients of the 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellows, which recognizes folk and traditional artists for their artistic excellence and efforts to conserve America’s culture for future generations. The fellowships are the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts, and include a one-time award of $25,000.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Throughout their careers, these artists have honored the history of their art forms while also incorporating their own creativity and innovation to carry the art forms into the 21st century. For example, Harold Burnham, 11th-generation in a line of boat designers and builders, creates his vessels using hand tools and incorporating locally harvested wood, just as members of his family did some 300 years ago. However, while rooted in the past, Burnham's designs demonstrate his own blend of form and function. Another 2012 fellow, Leonardo "Flaco" Jiménez, learned to play the accordion from his father, a giant of this early Texan-Mexican tradition, but then went <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8473785848367844587" name="13804ee75ffade6f__GoBack" style="color: #1155cc;"></a>on to collaborate with contemporary musicians such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Ry Cooder. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

King, Cajun fiddler and composer Michael Doucet, cowboy poet Wally McRae, gospel and soul singer Mavis Staples, and bluegrass musician Bill Monroe. Since 1982, the Arts Endowment has awarded 368 NEA National Heritage Fellowships. Fellowship recipients are nominated by the public, often by members of their own communities, and then judged by a panel of experts in folk and traditional arts on the basis of their continuing artistic accomplishments and contributions as practitioners and teachers. This year the panel reviewed 200 nominations for the nine fellowships. The ratio of winners to nominees indicates the select nature of this national honor.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Well, we finally have the chance to announce the awesome news that Harold Burnham received a National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship...particularly in the folk and heritage arts. So, we see that the announcement was made today. Harold is really, really happy about this coveted award and he had a lot of great people over the years rooting for him to win this lifetime achievement award. On Oct. 1, he will go to Washington, D.C. to receive the award from ... well, maybe from the First Lady .... followed by a dinner at the Library of Congress and ending with a big concert/show with the other recipients. We hope you will join me in congratulating Harold. On the NEA website, there is a great video of the building of the schooner FAME. <a href="http://www.nea.gov/honors/heritage/fellows/fellow.php?id=2012_03&type=bio">Enjoy! </a><br />
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
<br />
<br />
From the National Endowment of the Arts Website<br />
<br />
A master craftsman and dedicated student of design, Harold Burnham is the 28th member of his extended family to run an Essex shipyard -- a tradition that dates back to 1819 and includes 11 generations of his family.</div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
Essex is a shipbuilding mecca -- a small town where the time-honored craft of traditional wooden boat building has been alive and well since the early 17th century. In the last 400 years, the town has produced more than 4,000 ships. In today's age of fiberglass boat construction, Burnham is widely considered to be the expert on working with wood. His designs are frequently praised for blending the traditional wood craftsmanship with today's safety and design standards.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
In 1996, Burnham was commissioned to build a 65-foot charter schooner, the<em>Thomas E Lannon</em>. The success of this project led to several other large commissions, including the <em>Lewis H. Story,</em> a boat that travels throughout New England representing Essex's maritime tradition.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
Not only is Burnham a highly skilled craftsman, but he also has extensive experience operating and studying ships and marine life. He graduated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
With deep roots in his community, Burnham is passionate about sharing his extensive knowledge with those he works with. In 2001, he received a Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) grant in the traditional arts, and in 2003 received a MCC Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grant. Harriet Webster, executive director of the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, praised Burnham's community involvement, "When Harold undertakes a project, it inevitably becomes a community project. He involves both skilled craftsmen and enthusiastic community members in the work, demonstrating and teaching as he goes. In the process, not only does he build fine boats, but he nourishes a community of individuals that develops an appreciation for and understanding of this traditional art form -- and determination to help keep that tradition alive."<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #003366; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px;">
In a 2011 interview with the <em>Cape Ann Beacon</em>, Burnham said, "Up into the last few years I considered building boats something that I wanted to do, and now I feel like it is something I want to preserve. Like an endangered species, once it's gone it can't be recreated. And so, I am happy to share what I have learned with anyone who takes an interest in the hopes that these skills will be carried on long after I am gone."</div>

Happy Father's Day to and from the men who built the schooner Ardelle - pictured here last year on a lobster break thanks so Steve Willard. We have had a lot of fun with these guys - almost all Dads' and really good Dads, too! We hope you consider taking your Dad for a sail this weekend on the Ardelle. Our sail times are on the <a href="http://schoonerardelle.com/">website</a><br />

OK, we know this will embarrass and perhaps frustrate young Alden but we have to say this was a week or so of milestones. Alden Burnham graduated from Manchester-Essex Regional High School and did so in great style..finishing off a great career with the high school band, and winning the national John Philips Sousa award, also Alden took a beautiful girl named Nicole to the senior prom and basically took that diploma at a great graduation ceremony this past Friday night in style. This coming Thursday night we are going to have his graduation party on the Ardelle. Alden will be heading to Boston University on Sept. 1 so we do feel we need to take this opportunity to say you are one to watch, Alden, you will be great.<br />

Zack has been aboard the vessel since January and arrived in the Caribbean to begin the journey. He has covered a lot of sea miles now and we all know - having been young once - that an experience like this is both hard to forget, hard to duplicate and life-altering. We are so looking forward to seeing Zack this summer and he will be a member of the Ardelle crew along with Alden and Perry Burnham. But, we also hope he savors his homecoming and has lots of time to see family - who after all - have had to do the worrying and waiting and who also have one great young person to be proud off. Welcome home, Zack!</span></span></div>

<br />
We had a great day today with two sails on the Ardelle this afternoon in absolutely glorious conditions. Flat seas, steady 10-15 knot breeze and warm May sunshine. Ideal day with some fotos of our passengers below..including Capt. Tom Ellis, and Steve Willard, and Perry, Alden Burnham and a birthday celebration for one of the passengers. Then, we rushed back to the Burnham yard to see Justin's Acorn dinghy get christened and launched. The christening was well executed by the lovely Jasamine and the boat is very stout and stable and will be great to sail or row. A good time was had by all today...nothing like a sail or a launch on a beautiful spring day to start thinking summer can't be far away now. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, we are sailing on the Ardelle tomorrow at 1 and 3:30 p.m. Come on board and have a sail! Hopefully, the weather will be like today.<br />

Justin Ingersoll is one of our favorite people in this world and he did an amazing amount of volunteer work on the schooner Ardelle last year and continues to be a welcome presence around the boatyard. Whenever we hear what sounds like a 1960s drag racer coming down Burnham Court, we know that Justin is coming down the road in his 1960s era Le Mans or GTO .. driving back from working on over at the Gloucester Marine Railway on the replica Tea Party boats and that he has a project going on here that needs finishing. Since helping us finish the Ardelle, Justin did some amazing maple sugaring here on the few maple trees we have, giving us jars of amazing maple syrup that would fit in any gourmet kitchen. He has also been working on a beautful custom-made Acorn Dinghy that he will use first to race in the Essex River race the following weekend and he will then use it for sailing around Gloucester harbor this summer.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, Justin must launch his small vessel first and this Saturday at 4 p.m. he will be doing just that from the Burnham yard. We welcome any of you to join us to celebrate both a beautiful piece of work worthy of WoodenBoat Magazine and to thank him for all of his hard work, dedication, friendship, and<i> THE</i> best maple syrup ever tasted!<br />

We had a great shakedown sail yesterday on the schooner Ardelle and were happy to have Capt. Rick and Capt, Karen Miles and their crew aboard. They will be heading north soon aboard their 90-foot vessel <a href="http://www.wanderbirdcruises.com/">Wanderbird</a> to start their charter season and will travel as far north as Labrador, Baffin Bay and along the coast of Greenland to Diska and beyond. Capt. Karen says that over the course of the summer they cover more sea miles than an Atlantic crossing and return trip so they really enjoy the brief time they come to Gloucester each year to haul out on the Gloucester Marine Railway. They work hard on getting the boat ready but were able to relax with us for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon.<br />
<br />
Rick fished out of Gloucester over 30 years ago, and grew up in Winthrop and Marblehead and is an old, good friend. He has been on the water ever since the late 70s all over the world and just last winter he and his wife did an amazing slide show presentation at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum of their trip to the Artic last year where they take up to 12 passengers. It is well worth looking into - those of you who want to travel with two amazing people and have a kind of tramp steamer experience. Bird life, polar bears, native people and just an overall unique and rare opportunity to see an entirely different part of our world and meet the people who live there...made me consider the possibility of jumping ship and volunteering myself for a trip this summer. The Wanderbird does have volunteer crew and we had their two young folks on board the Ardelle with us yesterday.<br />
<br />
We wish them a safe and successful journey north and hope to hear all about it sometime next winter when, hopefully, they come back to Essex and do another slideshow for us all!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">Today marked the start of a new collaborative effort, called the Ocean Explorers Program, which will provide more than 600 Gloucester 3<sup>rd</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup> and 5<sup>th</sup> grade students a chance to learn first-hand what it is like to be a marine or physical scientist. This National Oceanic and Atmosphereic Administration (NOAA) supported informal educational program is being conducted by Maritime Gloucester at their waterfront museum/educational facility and onboard the Schooner <i>Ardelle</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">We arrived at the dock this a.m. and loaded up the educations gear for the students. This was the first day of the Ocean Explorer Program which will continue through late June. We applaud all the kids, teachers, and experts in the field who got out on the water on a pretty cold, drizzly day. We noticed that when the kids left the dock, they were quiet but after an hour on the Ardelle and learning some very cool things using scientific equipment, underwater cameras and the like - they looked like they were having a great time! </span></div>

It is hard to believe that this time last year the Ardelle had her planks on but no deck beams, no deck, no rudder, no bowsprit, no paint, no varnish and no cabin tops....what a difference a year makes! As we have been getting the Ardelle ready for this coming charter season - and we are leaving Essex early this week as we have an educational charter on May 3 thanks to Maritime Gloucester, it is just hard to believe that getting ready this year involved painting and some varnishing, sanding, and cleaning..but that is about it! Last year at this time, Harold and the crew had four months of very hard work ahead of them to complete the vessel. We had our first charter on Labor Day weekend...it is hard to imagine we will be operating next week. As we have said many times, we could not have done it without you!<br />

We had a great week getting the Ardelle freshly painted and we decided to have a party last Saturday night as a kind of send off for the Ardelle. It was a great night and although it was a bit cold outside people seemed to have no trouble spending time outside while the indoors was full of great homemade food and a table full of dessert. All week we have been painting the Ardelle getting her ready for our first charter on May 3. So it has been a busy week but the weather is good. We have decided that April is a great time to have a party and want to thank everyone for coming! </div>

</tbody></table>It was quite interesting around the yard on Friday as the steambox was going full on as Chad and Harold worked on bending frames for the Double Eagle which is being worked on in the Burnham yard. Meanwhile, work is going on aboard the Ardelle as we are getting her ready for the summer charter season. Additionally, spar work is going on for the Schooner Adventure. Throughout all of this, we were visited by a production team for This Old House - an award winning program that many of you have heard of. This show has been ongoing since 1972 and has won 17 Emmy awards and 82 Emmy nominations. Tom Silva, a 22-year veteran of the show is a native of Lexington, Mass so we imagine he is pleased to be in his homestate for awhile. This Old House is spending about eight months in Essex restoring a home here<a href="http://www.gloucestertimes.com/local/x2108300688/This-Old-House-in-Essex-PBS-hits-series-settles-into-8-month-stay-at-cottage"> (see story here</a>) and they are scoping out the area for some side stories. Well, we think they came to the right place when they stopped by the yard Friday and the cameramen were particularly interested in the place. There is a lot to see and from many angles...it happened to be a beautiful day and we are pretty convinced that we live in a really unique place down here in the Essex river basin. We think they liked it, too and hope they come back again!<br />

<br />
Inside,the issue there is a great photo essay of the building of the schooner Ardelle. The article came about through a lot of hard work on the part of Harold and the volunteer crew of boatbuilders, Dan's tenacity and talent, and geniune interest and support from the staff at WoodenBoat magazine including its editors' Matt Murphy and Tom Jackson. Harold wrote the text and incorporated Dan's story as well but the talented team at WB always make it look just right.<br />
<br />
Being on the cover of WoodenBoat has created a lot of buzz here and we have some happy folks around the yard these days. There really are some very good yet subtle messages to this story and one is we really don't want Harold to be the last Essex shipwright and hope to see shipbuilding continue into the next generations. So, yeah, if you have a young child who loves things like Bob the Builder and/or has a tendency to like to make a lot of banging noises...you might have the next generation of shipbuilders in Essex on your hands. Bring 'em on down here and put them to work. They will never forget or regret it!</div>Harold Burnhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416381377288705180noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473785848367844587.post-39959678025221689272012-04-12T10:36:00.002-07:002012-04-12T11:02:38.158-07:00Mast Hoops for the Schooner Adventure and Life in the Yard<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Things are moving on all cylinders here at the yard. A lot of different projects underway bringing back old friends and family who are all helping out. Alden Burnham, 18, is doing his final senior project here so it is great to have him around during the day. Chad, Bruce, Justin, Tom Ellis, Bernie Powers, Chuck Redman, Henry Sostek and many others have been dropping by or working here this past month. So, it is great to have so many hands here. The schooner Ardelle will be departing the yard in a few weeks for our first charter in Gloucester on May 3 but for a little while we hope to have her in the basin...her favorite spot for Essex residents as they get to see her to and from town or on their way to work in the a.m. Anyway, the bugs are not out yet but the days are getting longer. Its a good time to stop by so come by and see what we are up to.</div>Harold Burnhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416381377288705180noreply@blogger.com1
