Fort Trumbull's Miliary Dispatch Boat

 
Posted by Picasa


This schooner, before the Civil War, belonged to Brigadier General Ian McKay. He donated it to Fort Trumbull for the duration of the war as a means of moving dispatches by sea along the New England Coast. The Schooner has a crew of two and will accomodate up to four people for a short cruise.
