The Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s flagship schooner Lewis H. Story will be the focus of attention at a Mount Desert Island, Maine celebration.
In July a Mount Desert Island Historical Society crew will come to Massachusetts and sail the Lewis H. Story from Gloucester to Mount Desert Island, Maine. The Harold Burnham designed Lewis H. Story is a replica of a Chebacco type boat, the kind of vessel used by the first colonial settlers to come to Mount Desert Island. The Island Historical Society will be inviting the community to come aboard the boat the week of July 15 to 21 for day sails and other fun events. -Photo Len Burgess
