[6] It changed ownership several times from 1895 to 1910, when it became owned by the Marston Lobster Pound Co. (5/8), Sargent Land and Co. (1/8) and by Charles A. Baker (2/8).

[6] Captain Dayton O. Newton, bandmaster at Admiral Farragut Academy (Pine Beach, NJ) and captain of the Schooner Adventure (Camden, ME) met Dale in the early 1960s and offered to assemble a volunteer crew of Admiral Farragut Academy cadets to work on the Berry.

During this shakedown cruise, Pete Seeger came aboard for a concert from the Berry raising funds for his soon to be built Clearwater.

In 1992, the Emma C. Berry sailed from the Mystic Seaport down to Fishers Island Sound under sloop rig, for the first time in 106 years.

[3] The Emma C. Berry has undergone numerous alterations in rigging, modification and repairs throughout its career before undergoing an extensive restoration to return it to its original configuration.

[10][11] After its arrival at the Mystic Seaport, the Emma C. Berry underwent the first phase of its restoration, lasting from 1969 to 1971.

[3] The Mystic Seaport drew upon literature and other sources to accurately restore her to her original configuration and appearance.

[3] Further evidence is the painting of the 1867 Noank smack Mary E. Hoxie by Elisha Baker, depicting the black hull.

Jack Wilbur, a Noank boat builder and master mariner, believes the return to the sloop rigging was nonsensical because it went against the way the ship sailed from its early years, as a schooner.

[12] Wilbur states that the schooner rig served the Emma C. Berry longer than the entire lives of those who made the decision.
