Here you see the 123-foot schooner AMERICAN EAGLE coming into Great Cove at dusk Tuesday. She overnighted and apparently tried playing the part of a maritime Sleeping Beauty awaiting a ptincely kiss from dawn’s early light:
She left the Cove before noon under two sails.
The EAGLE was launched in 1930 under a different name and had a relatively rough life before she was restored and refitted as a tourist coastal cruiser. She now hails from Rockland, Maine, and was on a five-night “Full Eastbound” cruise booked for private charter, according to her schedule. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on September 17, 2025.)
