Rockland, Maine -Each year on the forth of July there are parades in every corner of this nation, but few like the one in Rockland Maine. It started about 10:30 under a warm sunny sky with a good stiff breeze. However, in this parade most of the participants were over 100 years old. They were the historic schooners of the Rockland windjammer Fleet.
Fourth of July week is Race Week for these historic wooden boats. Passengers board on Sunday night for a week of sailing the waters of Penobscot bay, visiting quaint fishing villages that dot the coast of Maine, finishing the week with The Great Schooner Race From Islesboro Island to Rockland Maine. This year there are more than 20 of these beautiful wooden vessels expected to take part in this Maine sailing tradition. For more information on The Great Schooner Race or the vessels of the Maine Windjammer Association go to: http://www.greatschoonerrace.com/
