Sign Guestbook Webmaster Welcome to the Schooner Atlantic guëstbook - Click on "Sign Guëstbook" above to add your entry 28-10-2006 15:09:36 °95 C R Bryant (United States of America) Exciting! I am looking forward to painting her. Any chance you will attend the Westward Cup? Hope to see you in Cowes. 30-01-2010 14:19:52 °94 Bob Finn (United States of America) I am a sailor from Oswego, New York, USA, birthplace of William Gardner. I have been following the project but have not seen any news in months. Is the boat sailing. Will it ever make it to the USA? 27-01-2010 20:01:24 °93 Comment Hi, suggest you use the newsletter (linked on the left) to follow progress - it's published by email and RSS upon newsworthy events :-) Carlos F. von Habsburg Lothringen (Mexico) A good friend invited my wife and I on a sailing trip on the Schooner Atlantic for the summer 2010. We will sail from northern France to Avila Spain, we have been browsing through the whole web site and already dreaming on the forthcoming journey. We are sure that it will be really something. 12-01-2010 22:24:44 °92 Kathleen M. Bentz (United States of America) I remember the Atlantic as a gift shop in the Wildwood yacht club. It was moored next to Urie's Fish Fry. They had a seal that was part of the promotion and got away one day in the bay. That did make this child happy. Our boat was next to the great sailing vessel many years and we did swim within her hull. So glad she is back again. She will always have a part of my heart. 22-12-2009 11:32:50 °91 Patty Urie O'Donnell (United States of America) I remember the Atlantic as a child. My parents had a house boat that was docked right next to the boat. As children my brothers and sisters and I would row and swim around the boat. The Atlantic sunk one year and our adventures in the summers would include swimming in the sunken Atlantic. This was scary and exciting. Those were the good old days living at the shore. 19-12-2009 20:30:47 °90 Gordon Ingram (Canada) I am very keen on viewing the ship to see how how far construction is advanced, I have recently built a model of the schooner, on a scale of 60 to 1 fully rigged and painted in the original colours, the only thing that may not be exact is the deck layout, but is close I believe.. 13-12-2009 16:42:54 °89 Carlo (United States of America) Wow, what a fantastic project. Glad you are on the web so we can share. When will she be sailing? Fair Winds! 10-12-2009 16:34:28 °88 Mungo Watson (Scotland) Hello from the Schooner Adix.. Well she's looking good, we are very much looking forward to sailing the two boats together sometime soon hopefully. keep up the good work. See you on the water. 30-11-2009 20:53:15 °87 Ralph Arnesen (Wales) I have a few photos that I got from my godmother, Sarah Pedersen, her husband was captain on the Atlantic during the 1930s. He worked for Lambeth and he was a friend of my father from Arendal, Norway. How could I send them to you? 28-11-2009 19:36:46 °86 Comment by email, see page named Contact - many thanks :-) Charles Han**** (United States of America) I just discovered this recreation of my favorite sailing vessel. At the end of her life, I got to know the original in Wildwood, New Jersey during an attempt to save her that ultimately enabled her to be towed to Newport News. 12-11-2009 17:44:44 °85 Miguel S Escobedo (Mexico) Dear Ed, I might be mistaken but I think the original Schooner Atlantic was built for and by one of my wife´s ancestors, Robert Stevens, who also founded the Americas Cup. 25-10-2009 16:31:15 °84 Miguel S. Escobedo (Mexico) When can we sail with you? 25-10-2009 16:23:03 °83 Capt. Willy Hampton (United States of America) I went aboard the shell of ATLANTIC while she was in her mud berth at Norfolk in 1972. There was no interior at all, just the steering gear. The house was still on deck. My bosses father, Charles F Adams was the skipper on the 1928 Spain race and CFA jr was aboard too. He told me that from the time the helm was put over untill the last line was coiled during a tack was 40 minutes. He also said they were ahead of the record run and ahead of ELENA on a broad reach with the ballon jib up in strong wind and the steering gear wouldn't keep up with boats tracking, I seem to recall CFA saying the steering was 40 turns lock to lock. The ballon jib came out of the tapes and ATLANTIC ran over the sail and it took two days to clear. I hope to see her in Newport, RI I'll check to see if there are still photos. He had a bunch. Willy Hampton 11-10-2009 18:27:58 °82 Hank Grabarz (United States of America) Thanks to my friend Kees Van Vliet for sending me information regarding the Atlantic. Hope to follow her progress. She is one beautiful ship 26-09-2009 23:25:31 °81 C. Van Vliet (France) Ed, Wonderful to see you again in MC yesterday and meet Sophie as well. I still can't find out where Atlantic was built. It could have been at the yard on Shooters Island, between Staten Island and Bayonne NJ. The website is great and I hope to see you in Holland to have a look. Warm regards, Kees 25-09-2009 15:40:34 °80 mike wheeler (United States of America) great project.been with you from the start.hope to see her some day. 25-09-2009 01:50:06 °79 Steve S. (United States of America) My grandfather was the chief engineer on Atlantic in the late 1920s. He died before I was born. He took black and white video of Atlantic crossing the Atlantic during a hurricane. He strapped himself to one of the masts to take the video. I should get it digitized. GREAT TO SEE HER COMING BACK TO LIFE! All the best. Steve. 30-07-2009 03:21:34 °78 Java (England) When is it sailing? Looks too good to not be sailing... 22-07-2009 15:04:10 °77 bransom bean (Isle of Man) A superyacht truly worthy of the moniker "super".... 23-06-2009 10:34:28 °76 Joseph Martin (United States of America) My father took me aboard the orginal Atlantic while she was docked in NJ. I hope there will be some CD's or DVD's of the new ship under sail with what is entailed to running of sailship of her size. Also, some below deck info would be great. 14-06-2009 19:44:50 °75 Leanne Osgood Dyson (United States of America) Great niece of Charlie Barr. Understand Atlantic might be visiting Marblehead, Ma within a year or so; hopefully we will be allowed on board. 07-05-2009 21:56:52 °74 Hans Bouman (England) Truly a thing of immense beauty! I wish Mr Kastelein, Atlantic's skipper, and all involved in the creation of Atlantic every bit of success in finishing this wonderful project. And Bon Voyage to all who will get to sail her. 30-01-2009 11:32:40 °73 J Neenan (United States of America) Thanks for the memories, I helped raise the atlantic in 1974 or 75. My memory fades in Norfolk, Virginia.

I also have a photo of her in her last days. 15-08-2008 21:15:24 °66 David Dearsley (England) Hi, I was in Viet Nam 4 weeks ago with another ex-seafarer colleague when we saw a shop selling model ships. Neither of us could resist the Atlantic model so we bought one each and shipped them home. And now we find that a replica is being built - what a fabulous hull shape. Congratulations!! David 13-08-2008 17:19:38 °65 Rob Wilson (United States of America) Having built a model of the Atlantic, am anxious to see the real thing. Great project and congrates . 01-08-2008 11:30:24 °64 bob wallace (United States of America) as an ex 'schoonerman' myself, I think this is a fantastic project! good luck. rebuilding wood and canvas can be done, but how do you recreate capt. charlie barr? 19-06-2008 01:21:25 °63 Charlie Barr (United States of America) Capt Barr has always been my Hero, by confining the owner to his quarters on the record breaking voyage across the Atlantic 16-06-2008 16:48:31 °62 Charles Wilson (United States of America) WOW! I have a picture of the Atlantic on my wall. I have looked at it for years, and only now am I finding out that she actually lives. Will there be a post as to her itinerary. I would love to see her. WOW! 14-06-2008 23:24:36 °61 Sean Hickey (United States of America) My father sailed on the Atlantic prior to WWII. My first boat was a seven plank dory that came from the Atlantic. I used to putter around the harbor in Milwaukee in it, while my father worked on "Sally" a 1903 Herreshoff cutter. The last known location of the dory was on one of the lakes outside of Milwaukee at a family freinds summer home. I lost track of it in the mid-seventies. 09-06-2008 21:16:05 °60 James C. Full (United States of America) Congratulations on a great project. I remember her in Marblehead during my youth and will hopefully see her sailing here some day..
