Today there was a parade of sails celebrating Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor. Despite the light rain, plenty of people came to watch them sail in.

This is Nathaniel Bowditch:
"Designed by William Hand, the Schooner Nathaniel Bowditch was built in 1922 in East Boothbay, Maine as a private racing yacht. In 1923 she was entered the Bermuda Cup under her original name, Ladona. She won the race in 1927. Her second owner renamed her Jane Dore after his daughter.
In 1942 she was commissioned by the US Coast Guard and assigned to Offshore Patrol to search for German submarines off New York Harbor. During this time she received two citations by the Commander of the Eastern Sea Frontier US Coast Guard for seaworthiness in poor weather." ~www.windjammervacation.com
