Well, I’m 99% positive it is the same boat. In Paul’s photo, which is quite lovely, you can see a sign to the left of ship. If you look really closely, I read it as the Friendship ship, which is the same name of the ship I photographed. This ship is a facsimile of the original ship. Interestingly, Salem at one point was the wealthiest and busiest port and area along the New England coast for a good long time—busier than Boston Harbor area, but then the witches took over :-). Cheers, Christine
