Description

Another of the windjammers that helped celebrate Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I put up a photo earlier of the Henry Gamage in the background. The American Eagle sails out of Rockland, Maine. The history is below from the website.

June 2, 1930 Launched as the Andrew & Rosalie, last fishing schooner built in Gloucester. June 26, 1930 She leaves on her first fishing trip May 5, 1941 Renamed American Eagle by then owner Capt. Ben Pine August, 1983 Made last fishing trip October, 1984 Made it to Rockland, Maine for rebuilding 1984-1986 When the American Eagle tied up at our North End Shipyard in 1984, 53 years of hard fishing really showed. From then until the spring of 1986, great efforts went into her reconstruction. The ingenuity and expertise of Captain Foss and five other schooner captains completed her restoration. April, 1986 Relaunched after complete rebuild July 1986 In Parade of Sail, New York for Statue of Liberty rededication
