| Mid-coast, MAINE— The Maine Windjammer Association will host the 8th annual Maine Windjammer Parade past the Rockland Breakwater on July 13 from 2:00-4:00 pm. Geared for both spectators on shore and windjammer guests, the event will provide close-up views of the entire fleet as it sails within a stone’s throw of the Rockland Breakwater Light. The afternoon event will also include tours of the Lighthouse, a flyover by the Owls Head Transportation Museum and free shuttle service between Harbor Plaza (behind Machias Savings Bank) and the Breakwater parking area. For spectators who need help distinguishing a ketch from a schooner or a coaster from a pilot boat, Captain Jim Sharp of the Sail, Power and Steam Museum will narrate the parade over a PA system at the Lighthouse. |
