Maritime Gloucester
The Grantee shall preserve and restore the Mill Building of the Marine Railway and create an exhibit, within the mill building, showcasing and describing the sawmill and machinery. The railway is the oldest continuously operated working marine railway in the United States. It has been used since 1850 to haul and repair historic wooden vessels up to 350 tons. The machinery for running the railway is housed in the brick Mill Building which includes an operational 46" saw mill, planer and other traditional wood working equipment and railway machinery from the 19th century.
Maritime Gloucester
The project entails necessary repairs, recommended by Crandall Dry Dock Company in 2015, and other necessary measures to insure that the railway can continue to haul traditional wooden schooners, such as the Ardelle and Schooner Adventure, which both call Maritime Gloucester home. The work will include repairing or replacing the sheave or other structures such as pilings, rails, etc. They also plan to repair the winch because it has not been addressed for over 15 years. This needs to be accomplished to assure that before they haul the 200+ ton Adventure that the winch can do its job.
