Two handsome schooners came into Great Cove on July 18 and left the following morning. The first was the sleek, low-slung 120-foot J&E Riggin out of Rockport, Maine. She was launched in 1927.
The second schooner to visit that day was the 91-foot Tree of Life out of Newport, Rhode Island, a luxuriously-appointed cruiser. She was launched in 1991 and has sailed the world.
Here's the Riggin again that morning, as she was anchored just outside the swing of the Friendship Sloop Belford Gray at her mooring:
The Riggin left the Cove under motor power and the Tree was still anchored when we had to leave the Cove; hence, both images are only “stick shots” (no sails up). (Brooklin, Maine)
