Stephen Taber, Historic schooner in Rockland, United States
The Stephen Taber extends 115 feet in length with two masts and operates as a passenger vessel in the waters of Rockland, Maine.
Built in 1871 at Bedel Shipyard in New York, this wooden sailing vessel represents the oldest documented sailing vessel in continuous service in the United States.
The schooner maintains traditional maritime practices by operating without an inboard engine, relying instead on a yawl boat named Babe for auxiliary power.
The vessel accommodates passengers with a pine main deck configuration and requires a crew of five members to operate its mainsail, foresail, and two headsails.
The vessel features a centerboard design that allows navigation through shallow channels, making it one of only three surviving schooners with this capability.
