Windjammers in the NYTimes.

Friday, September 5th, 2008

The New York Times covers Maine quite often. Today there is a travel piece on the Windjammer Angelique, with a nice slide show, that gives you a bit of the taste of being onboard.

A windjammer is defined as a merchant sailing ship. And these days the merchandise they carry are tourists who want to see Maine from the water. When these ships were first carrying cargo, they never dreamed that the cargo they carried would actually help sail the ship!

More info on the fleet can be found at the Maine Windjammers Association website. And you might like to read our interview with Aaron Lincoln, Captain of the Schooner Olad.
