Maine Schooners to Welcome Home Bowdoin:
MMA's schooner Bowdoin will return to Castine on Wednesday, July 30, following a 60-day voyage to the Arctic Circle. The historic schooner is expected to dock at approximately 1 p.m. and the public is invited and encouraged to welcome the crew home.
According to Capt. John Worth, small vessel master at MMA, at least three of Maine's commercial passenger schooners are expected to sail to the area and provide a festive escort for the Bowdoin on the return leg into Castine Harbor. Depending on scheduling, Worth said that as many as 10 schooners have expressed interest in participating in the informal sail parade.
