We can finally tell you that Ernestina will be totally rebuilt. Bob Hildreth a founder of SEMA and our vice-president and Gerry Lenfest, who has had an interest in the ship since a childhood acquaintance with Capt. Bob Bartlett have committed a total of $2.8 million to the re-fit. SEMA is committed to provide $1 million and the Commonwealths $2.5 million will insure that the ship will sail again! Everyone that has been working very hard for this moment should be proud that this vessel, that was built in Massachusetts and returned to us in 1982 as a gift from the people of Cabo Verde will be able to proudly represent the Commonwealth again.
