The MADELINE, a 55'6" Gaff Topsail Schooner, passing the Dossin Museum in the Tall Ship Parade on Sunday, July 22, 2001. In the winter of 1851-52, the MADELINE served as a classroom for five young men including John Fitzgerald, the grandfather of Edmund Fitzgerald, namesake of the ill-fated ore carrier. The lads, seeking an education, climbed aboard the schooner for a journey to Grand Traverse Bay. The modem MADELINE, launched in 1990, was built over a period of five years by volunteers of the Maritime Heritage Alliance, using traditional methods and materials. Photo by John Polacsek.
