Man-O-War Heritage - The William H. Albury
The William H. Albury
In the early 60‘s, the William H. Albury Boat Yard built a 70’ schooner, christened Esperanto. She was later renamed the William H. Albury. She participated in the 1976 Tall Ships event in NYC. Here are a couple photos from her construction and of her under sail.
