Tall Ships Gather For 12th Annual Schooner Parade

Rockland, Maine - What a better way then to go to the 12th annual Schooner parade past Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse on Friday, July 15th, 2016 in Rockland, Maine. Spending the afternoon at the lighthouse was a great way to stay cool on a 80+ day and see a half dozen or so tall ships.

Some of the Schooners that took part were Victory Chimes (1900), Stephan Taber and Lewis R. French (1871), Angelique (1980) and Issac H. Evans (1886).

The parade provides spectators with stunning, close-up views of Maine’s fleet of tall ships.
