The three-masted vessel that appeared in the harbor the morning of July 12, 1946, looked like something out of New London s past, but it belonged to the future.
Nearly 300 feet long with a graceful steel hull painted white, it was rigged as a barque: square sails on the foremast and mainmast, fore and aft sails on the mizzen mast. The ship docked at Fort Trumbull and was later inspected by 1,200 curious people.
