Maine's Own Tall Ships on Parade

Rockland, Maine - There are few places in the world where you can see so many historic tall ships in one place, Rockland Maine is one of the best.  In fact once each year the Maine Windjammer Association sponsors the Maine Windjammer Parade.
This Friday nearly a dozen of these historic schooners, many built before 1900 gathered in Rockland.  Two of these ships were built in 1871 and are the two oldest sailing schooners in the country.  These ships built during the age of sail were expected to have about a 12 year life span and yet they are still sailing 100 years later and still making a living for their owners.
