88' Hand Arctic Schooner (1921) - BOWDOIN

The schooner Bowdoin is the Official Vessel of the State of Maine, and the flagship of Maine Maritime Academy’s Vessel Operations and Technology program. Every summer, the Bowdoin takes courses of Academy students up and down the eastern seaboard, and she spends the fall doing day sails and weekend trips from MMA’s waterfront in Castine. Built in 1921 for Arctic exploration, the Bowdoin has made three voyages above the Arctic Circle since she came to MMA in 1988 as well as trips to Newfoundland and Labrador and regular visits to Nova Scotia.
