The wooden schooner Appledore II
The wooden schooner Appledore II was launched on August 22, 1978. It's described as a majestic 86 foot (26 metres) windjammer and the largest of her sister ships, Appledores I, III, IV, and V.
Here's info from the owner's website: (appledore2.com/)
"The Appledore II is the last schooner custom built by the Gamage Shipyard. Started in 1924 in South Bristol, Maine by Harvey F. Gamage, the Yard built and launched many famous tall ships, including the Mary Day, Harvey Gamage, Shenandoah, Bowdoin, Bill of Rights and the Spirit of Massachusetts."
"The Appledore II was built traditionally, using time honored techniques of shipbuilding. Looking at her, you are reminded of the phrase, “iron men and wooden ships.” Designed by Bud Macintosh, a renowned boat builder, the Appledore II is constructed in the finest tradition of New England ship building. His design is now recognized worldwide for the schooner’s heavy weather, open ocean capabilities."
