Launch of the Schooner Ardelle in Essex, MA on July 9, 2011
Anticipation and celebration as the whole town of Essex, Massachusetts gathers at high tide on the Essex River for the traditional side launch of the Schooner Ardelle. The vessel was built by Master Shipwright, Harold A. Burnham - a 2012 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts: National Heritage Fellow Award. Harold is the 28th Burnham since 1819 to operate a shipyard in Essex.

Aboard the Ardelle with Harold Burnham
In September 2012, NEA Heritage Fellow and boat builder sailed over 600 miles with a few close friends from Gloucester, MA to Washington, DC. The wooden vessel that carried him here, The Ardelle, was built to be a traditional pinky schooner. The truly amazing part of this story is that he built this boat with the aid of volunteers from his hometown of Essex, MA, a legendary shipbuilding center dating back to the 1800s.
As Harold said in this interview, We built the Ardelle for $65,000. How are you going to do that in fiberglass? You couldn't even buy the glue. You can't buy the fastenings if it was screw-fastened for that. [The Ardelle] was built with sawn frames and tree nails in the old way.
A generous and gracious soul, Harold offered to take a few NEA staffers and Heritage Fellows on a short ride on the Potomac River. In this video, Harold delivers some interesting back story as we sail into the foggy evening.
