Port of Camden

Three years ago, Sally W came thru the sixth boro and I had the great pleasure of seeing this beautiful Lord Nelson Victory tug with owners Allan and Sally Seymour.  They’ve kept the vessel in Camden ME since then, and it was a joy to see them recently.

Camden harbor opens to Penobscot Bay, a universe unto itself. Many boats caught my attention, but none so much as Prophet.

Grace Bailey has to be the doyenne of the windjammer fleet.  Built in Patchogue NY in 1882, she transported as much food as she did building materials.

Mary Day and Angelique are two more of this unique fleet.

Camden is also home to this floating laboratory of electronic . . . gizmos.

Enjoy more . . .  like Appledore, 

Galatea,

and Timberwind.

 

But the one that captured me . . . that day was Prophet.

Many thanks to Allan and Sally.  All photos by Will Van Dorp.
