Windjammer Days, 2009





 

STORY HOUR

CONANT PHOTO GALLERY







The fleet from the coast of Maine parades into Boothbay Harbor each year...this is the 74th year, so we're told!! They always choose two days in the middle of the week in June near the end of the month and for the past several years, we've had fog and overcast! The first day our town was almost deserted and events were poorly attended, but Day Two found town crowded with people here to watch the spectacle of these gorgeous sailing vessels sailing into the harbor. What a sight!
