Description
Salem's Friendship Sails Home Gloucester festival of tall ships. Navigating in the days before GPS required much skill with sextants and lead lines and knot boards. Seamen became familiar with their ship, the shoreline and all the rocks and underwater shelves of hidden stone that could ruin their day. It takes an extra hardy soul to traverse the ocean and especially in the days of old. Visit the Friendship in Salem Massachusetts at the National Historic Park, Salem Maritime.
