Here you see the high-sterned schooner American Eagle leaving Great Cove last week, flaunting her out-sized mainsail. The Eagle reportedly was the last fishing vessel built in Gloucester, Massachusetts, when she was originally launched in 1930 as the Andrew & Rosalie.
In 1941 after World War II had started in Europe, her name was changed to American Eagle. She stopped fishing in 1983 and underwent thorough reconstructive restoration into a coastal cruiser during 1984-1986.
As she left Great Cove last week, the Eagle passed near the visiting Grayling, which originally was launched in 1915. That older boat spent most of her life as a sardine carrier before being restored and reconstructed into a luxury yacht. I was lucky enough to get the two historic vessels in the same frame:
