Dunton</em> is one of the few Gloucester Schooners left, and is believed to be the last one built as an entirely sail powered ship. Although it was outfit with an engine in the 1920’s and 30’s when the Seaport bought the schooner it was completely restored to it’s 1921 engine-less design. The 123’ <em>L.A. Dunton</em> is now a National Historic Landmark and a permanent part of the Mystic Seaport fleet.</p> There goes another invite!
