⚓ **This is what caring for Maine's maritime heritage looks like!** 💙

Our incredible WOW women are hard at work in the shop, and the historic Herreshoff 12½ is coming along beautifully!

There’s something deeply gratifying about seeing these beautiful vessels cared for by people who understand their value—not just as boats, but as living pieces of maritime history.

A little elbow grease, a lot of teamwork, and plenty of love for these boats. That’s how we keep Maine’s maritime heritage alive, one vessel at a time.

And the best part? **Come spring, this beautiful Herreshoff 12½ will be ready for you to rent and enjoy on the water!** ⛵

A huge thank-you to our amazing volunteers. You make us proud! 👏
