The schooner Columbia passes the outbound Cross Sound Ferry M/V John H. while entering New London Harbor en route to City Pier in New London, Tuesday, September 8, 2015 for this weekend's Connecticut Maritime Heritage Festival. Columbia is a steel hulled replica of the original Gloucester Fishing Schooner of the same name, which went down in heavy seas with all hands on August 24, 1927 near Sable Island in the north Atlantic. Columbia's rebirth was the dream of Brian D´Isernia of Eastern Shipbuilding of Panama City, FL. The original Columbia was a 141´ classic Gloucester Fishing Schooner built at the historic A.D. Story shipyard of Essex, Massachusetts and designed by the innovative William Starling Burgess. This weekend's Connecticut Maritime Heritage Festival runs through Saturday with a schooner race in that afternoon and a lighted boat parade that evening. (Sean D. Elliot/The Day) Buy Photo Reprints
