Summary

[edit]
Description

The Tall Ship Bowdoin being saluted with a water spout by a fireboat. This was the first tall ship in the parade from the start just off of Portland Head Light.

The schooner Bowdoin is the flagship of the Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) sail training fleet and the official sailing vessel of the state of Maine.

Built in 1921 for exploring Arctic waters, she is one of the strongest wooden vessels ever constructed. Between 1921 and 1954, she made 26 voyages above the Arctic Circle under the command of explorer Donald B. MacMillan.

Today, Bowdoin serves the students of MMA, the state of Maine, and New England, sailing in the waters of New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Greenland.
