Bristol Harbor Echoes Past With Yankee Sailings
Ten years ago this week Bristol recalled the harbor’s golden era as the brigantine Yankee visited, a ship built in 1912 and once the North Sea pilot boat Dubnen. Irving Johnson and crew circumnavigated the globe aboard the Yankee before World War I and after World War II, they sailed again from City Island with Girl Scout Mariners. The 96 foot steel vessel now marks a historic echo as local youth learn seafaring on summer cruises.
