What to Expect

Arrival

Board on your trip date between 5:00 pm  and 6:00.  Have a tour of the schooner with one of her experienced crew.

Enjoy free secure parking right within a stone’s throw of the schooner at the North End Shipyard in Rockland.

The shipyard is a historic working shipyard with all the equipment that skilled shipwrights need to preserve, restore, or build traditional wooden vessels.

Packing

Pack casual, comfortable clothes, and two pairs of rubber-soled shoes (no high heels, golf shoes, or white yachting outfits, please.) Raingear, a warm sweater or jacket, a sunhat and sunscreen are a must.

You can’t bring too much film, too many memory cards, or ask too many questions.

Dining

Food is prepared on a wood-burning stove and the menu is varied and wonderful.

Smells of freshly baked bread tease the senses in anticipation of meals such as pan-fried haddock on a bed of roast carrots and sweet corn risotto, garnished with fresh herb-roasted tomatoes. A tasty treat at the end of one of these culinary delights may be still-warm wild Maine blueberry pie topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

And what trip would be complete without the traditional lobster bake and barbecue on a deserted beach?
