Lewis R. French, National Historic Landmark schooner in Camden, Maine
The Lewis R. French measures 19.7 meters in length, featuring white oak planking and a double-sawn oak frame with hackmatack construction materials.
Built in 1871 at Christmas Cove in South Bristol, Maine, this two-masted schooner initially operated in coastal trade before transitioning to fishing operations from 1877 to 1888.
The vessel demonstrates traditional maritime craftsmanship through its gaff-rigged topsail design and serves as an educational platform for nautical heritage preservation.
The schooner accommodates 20 passengers across 12 cabins equipped with electric reading lights, running fresh water, opening windows, and USB charging capabilities.
Professional crew members prepare meals using a wood cookstove, serving fresh dishes throughout daily sailing excursions from Memorial Day through mid-October.
