Parade of Sails - Marine Art Giclee Print

Marine Art Giclée Print from an Original Oil Painting

The Maine Windjammer Association will host the 2nd annual Maine Windjammer Parade past the Rockland Breakwater on July 15 from 2:00-4:00 pm. Geared for both spectators on shore and windjammer guests, the event will provide close-up views of the entire fleet as it sails within a stone’s throw of the Rockland Breakwater Light. Spectators may view the Parade of Sail from anywhere along the mile-long Breakwater. Immediately following the Parade, many of the windjammers will anchor next to the jetty inside Rockland Harbor for the evening. Participants in the Maine Windjammer Parade will include as many as a dozen traditional sailing ships ranging from the Lewis R. French and Stephen Taber, America’s two oldest working coasting schooners built in 1871, to the Angelique and Heritage, the two newest vessels built specifically for windjamming since the 1980s. Most of the windjammers are turn-of-the-century wooden cargo schooners that have been retrofitted to carry passengers. Sailing from the Camden-Rockland area, these vessels take guests on 3- to 6-day cruises all season long, from late May to early October. Superb!!!!!
