Hauling the Mary Day
Maritime Editor
RCN America Network
Mary Day the first purpose built "windjammer" was hauled out at North End Shipyard for her yearly maintenance and a new coat of paint. Built in 1962, she may not be the oldest boat in the fleet or the biggest, but, she has created her own history in the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
Mary Day's captains, Barry King and Jennifer Martin are both Coast Guard licensed masters and have extensive sailing and educational backgrounds and experience. Barry has voyaged to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and along the Canadian Maritimes to Newfoundland.
Captain Barry tells me that they plan their first sailing of this season in three weeks. You could be on board. Below is treir 2013 sailing schedule. For more information or to book the vacation of a lifetime visit their website: http://schoonermaryday.com/

Spring At North End Shipyard with Video
by Doug Mills
Mairtime Editor
RCN America Network
With the onset of spring the North End Shipyard in Rockland becomes a very busy place. Unlike most of the shipyards in the world, this shipyard was created for the care and preservation of historic wooden boats. With nearly two dozen such boats sailing Penobscot Bay this becomes very busy in April and May servicing all of these boats that require much loving care.
Today we find the Stephen Taber on the railway. She was built in 1871, yes I said 1871. America had just survived the Civil War and the infamous Dodge City was no more than a sod roofed trading post on the frontier when the Taber was launched. She has sailed every one of those years and is today still paying her own way carrying passengers on the vacation of a life time, all summer long.
For more information on Stephen Taber or to book a vacation on this historic ship visit:
