Regina M

Mystic, CT  2021


 The Regina M is a "carry-away" boat built in 1900 for the purpose of catching herring and sardines for the cannery industry in Maine.  After the demand for herring subsided the ship came to Mystic Seaport in 1941 and underwent restoration so that she resembles what she looked like as an auxiliary powered carry-away boat of the 1910-1925 era.

  1. The Regina M is a boat with great lines. Excellent it is under restoration. Ed, I always love seeing your shipyard photos of these historic boats. Keep them coming.
