Timberwind, Historic schooner in Portland, US
The Timberwind extends 70 feet in length and features traditional wooden construction with an oak frame and yellow pine deck planking.
Originally built as a pilot boat named Portland Pilot in 1931, the vessel served in Portland Harbor until 1969 before its conversion into a tourist schooner.
The vessel maintains Maine's maritime traditions through educational sailing experiences that demonstrate traditional navigation and sailing techniques to visitors.
The Portland Schooner Company operates seasonal sailing trips aboard the Timberwind, offering both public excursions and private charter options along the Maine coast.
During World War II, the United States Coast Guard temporarily acquired the vessel for patrol operations in the waters near Portland.
