Hello, Maine!
 For three weeks, starting May 24, the Nantucket Clipper will cruise the coast of Maine on our Waterways of Coastal Maine cruise. Last Saturday, the Portland Press Herald wrote a nice article about the upcoming Nantucket Clipper visits to Bath, ME. We look forward to meeting the local residents and are thrilled that they will be so welcoming to our guests. It's always nice when we arrive in a small community like Bath and are treated like family!
As is often the case, reading the online version of the article, I found myself clicking on link after link, losing myself in the charm of the state. My virtual journey took me to this fantastic website that features live webcams for most harbors in Maine. Many of the New England ports that we visit are listed on this site. I plan to check back once the Nantucket is in the area, to see if I can spot her in these cameras.
Back to Bath...it seems like a lovely New England community, rich in nautical history- with Bath Ironworks being the anchor of the community. Some of the finest shipbuilders in the U.S. are in this area. In fact, several of our small-ships were built in New England. The Spirit of Discovery was actually built in Boothbay Harbor, just round the corner from Bath. I am sure that our guests will have a wonderful time exploring the nautical history of this area at the Maine Maritime Museum and eating a fabulous lunch featuring Maine lobster...
I can almost smell the salt air, taste the seafood and hear water lapping against the side of the hull. Calgon, take me away!
