to work with area High Schools and col- leges to build more cooperative, on-water programming. The net-net is more activity and positive leverage for Newport Harbor, which benefi ts everyone.” Sail Newport is a non-profi t public sailing center that provides sailing programs for all ages. The organization not only runs on-the-water activities, but the added class- room space enables Sail Newport to expand its educational programs.
The Museum and Sail Newport will continue to co-manage the Classic Yacht Regatta (CYR) at Fort Adams, an annual event for classic boats that is held over the Labor Day weekend. With sponsorship from Panerai, this event has grown in stature and is now part of a regional circuit, the North American Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. This year, the CYR will be held August 31 to September 1. The IYRS/MoY Library, located in
the restored Aquidneck Mill Building on Thames Street, has a sweeping view of

the caliber of the shipwrights who built her. The fi rst season of the PISCATAQUA was a huge success – measured by the several thousand people who sailed on over 300 trips. The new under-sail program for school groups “Celebrating our Rivers” was well received by hundreds of teachers and thousands of students from the seacoast and beyond. Planning for the 2013 season on the PISCATAQUA is in process. School trips will begin in mid-May 2013 followed by the public sail season that will start Memorial Day weekend and run through the end of October.
In March 2013 the CAPTAIN ED-
WARD H. ADAMS had a routine dry- docking to perform a survey and a hull examination by the US Coast Guard. Both reports revealed signifi cant structural dete- rioration throughout the exterior and interior of the hull. Therefore, the USCG Marine Safety Department has required that all de- teriorated wood including most of the bow

One of the most extensive collections of maritime reference materials in the northeast, the library has become a valuable resource used by yacht designers, students, writers, documentary fi lmmakers, and others who travel from throughout the U.S. and Europe to access the collection. The library contains over 4,000 nautical titles,
some 100 rare books, source materials such as logbooks and yacht club directories, and technical materials for IYRS students. It is open year-round to the public.

In the weeks to come as various sce- narios are being considered, the Gundalow Company staff and board is reaching out to all the former board members, former staff, members, supporters and volunteers spanning three decades who built, sailed, supported, interpreted and maintained the ADAMS.
All are invited to a meeting on April

This motion was seconded by John Chipman, Sr. Motion carries. Terry & Clay Savage gave an update of the Commissioner’s meeting that they attended. This was the series of meetings that were held to report to the industry the fi ndings of the Lobster Advisory Council and Sub-Council along with the D.M.R.’s input. The fi ndings were: over 500 people didn’t like the proposal. This came from mostly the older fi shermen. Some actually said to let the dealers set the price. For licensing, each zone is different such as Zone B said to go by the landings. Some talked about starting and staying with 400 tags and an automatic “in.” Swans Island will probably stay the way it is, 475 tags and also, no more waiting list. This is just a sample of suggestions that were made by
Commissioner’s meeting told about the glut and the large amount of lobsters that were dumped due to it. (Not being prepared for the amount) of lobsters to move. Due to this happening last year, we never recovered from it. Pat Keliher stated that he won’t limit (with this proposal) fi shing days unless we have to. We hope this situation does not happen again but need “something” in place to prevent it. He encourages everyone to attend one of these meetings. This is a very important subject.
The meeting adjourned at 8:16. We will have an informal meeting at the Forum to stay
up-to-date with the issues. The date set for the next meeting is Thursday, April 11th

This was an interesting photograph I picked up on e-bay. It was described as tug towing a clipper. Obviously she is a four-masted schooner, but the bigger questions was where is this. We know it is a coal port and one of the fi rst thoughts was it was Newburyport, MA, but that was ruled out. The next thought is Portsmouth, NH, which is probably correct. As for the schooner she is the HERBERT L. RAWDING, built at Stockton Springs in 1919.
