Majestic Mary E, Maine’s Oldest Schooner Returns To the Water
Last year, the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath acquired her from a New York owner and began an extensive restoration. On June 9th, the public will be welcome to watch as the revamped Mary E makes her way back into her native waters on the Kennebec. While the museum will remain the ship's permanent home, "Mary E Commissioning Day" kicks off a series of appearances across the state where the schooner will "serve as an ambassador of Maine's maritime heritage," reports Bangor Daily News.
