Here you see the 130-foot ANGELIQUE slipping quietly into Great Cove at sundown on Wednesday. She overnighted here and her passengers rowed ashore in longboats Thursday morning so that they could explore the WoodenBoat School campus, which is holding its last month of 2025 classes.
As the passengers rowed back to the vessel, alternating waves of fog and sun invaded the Cove in dramatic battle. Everyone waited patiently, the morning cleared, and ANGELIUE raised her mighty red sails and departed the Cove before noon:
ANGELIQUE is a gaff-rigged ketch (forward mast the taller) that was built for the tourist trade in 1980. She hails out of Camden, Maine, and was on a six-night cruise that included lectures by a historian and a naturalist, according to her schedule.
