Here’s the Henry Hudson replica ship porting in downtown New London ‘il Friday when she will take students up to Hartford for some hands-on classes.
Watch the crew wrestle with the mid sail before a small storm hits. They’ve already got the aft down, and everything else is ready. Minutes after I stopped filming about an inch of rain dropped in less than an hour. You see the dark clouds and hear the wind in this film.
