Here you see ANGELIQUE coming into Great Cove on Wednesday morning. She moored off Babson Island and her crew and passengers took to the long boats to have a luscious lunch on the beach there. Cove traffic continued with hardly a glance at this frequent visitor. She departed in the afternoon.
ANGELIQUE was on a 6-night “Photography and Nature Cruise,” according to her schedule. She’s certainly attractively distinctive. She’s the only gaff-rigged ketch in the windjammer fleet. (Note that her foremast is her main mast, unlike schooners.) She’s also the only windjammer with reddish, tan-bark-like sails and, I believe, the only one with a metal hull.
ANGELIGUE was designed and built in 1980 specifically for tourist cruising. She’s 130 feet long overall and reportedly has a passenger configuration of between 27 and 31 people, depending on pairings. Her homeport is Camden, Maine. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on June 17, 2026.
