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 the schooner Lewis R. French:

"Built by the French brothers and named for their father, the schooner Lewis R. French was launched in April, 1871, in Christmas Cove, Maine. She is the last schooner remaining of thousands built in Maine during the 19th century. Due to some luck and love, the French has carried an assortment of cargoes for various owners around the Northeast for over 130 years! She freighted bricks, lumber, firewood, granite, fish, lime, canning supplies, Christmas trees, and now people." ~www.schoonerfrench.com
