J. & E. Riggin, Historic schooner in Rockland, United States
The J. & E. Riggin spans 120 feet with two masts, featuring a spoon bow, low sides, and traditional wooden construction with many original components.
Built in 1927 in Dorchester, New Jersey, this vessel operated as an oyster dredging boat until the 1940s before transitioning to groundfish and mackerel fishing.
The schooner represents maritime traditions as part of the Maine Windjammer fleet, offering sailing excursions through Penobscot Bay's coastal waters.
Guests can participate in sailing activities, enjoy meals prepared on a wood stove, and sleep in cabins while exploring destinations between Boothbay and Bar Harbor.
The vessel maintains its historical authenticity by using a small auxiliary boat for power instead of an engine, demonstrating traditional maritime engineering.
