The historic 85-year-old wooden schooner Theresa E. Connor, described as the flagship of the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic in Lunenburg, N.S., faces an uncertain future.
In need of repair, it was removed from the dock outside the museum in February and is now at the Lunenburg Shipyard awaiting an assessment.
The 139-foot (42-metre) vessel was commissioned by the Maritime National Fish Company and built in Lunenburg at the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard, which also built the Bluenose and the Bluenose II.
