Portland Schooner Co.
A sailing trip with the Portland Schooner Co. promises a lesson in history of Maine, Portland Harbor, Casco Bay and beyond. But it is also a lesson in the history of sailing and the great schooners. These fine schooners are wooden and were built in the early 20th century. The schooners "Bagheera" and the 88-foot "Wendameen," both working the seas since the early 1900s, have vast and fascinating histories. They offer two-hour and overnight sails. The two-hour sail entails an optional lobster bake on Cow Island.
