"Mystery"

The Maine schooners, both cargo and fishing, were once a common sight at every wharf and shipyard in New England. A marvel in the age of commercial sail, the schooner was the primary means of transporting cargo and seafood. The old coasters and tern schooners played a vital role in our local commerce, shipyard activities and maritime history.

Schooners launched from the historic shipyards along the Kennebunk river.

Due to concentration and focus on wooden sailboat building and repair, I am no longer carving half-hull models. Please enjoy this page for the history of the Maine Schooner. Feel free to email if you have questions.
