Sommaire

Histoire

Le Lewis R. French a navigué jusqu'en 1971 comme caboteur pour différents propriétaires. Il a transporté des matériaux de constructions (bois, pierres, chaux,...) et du poisson dans les petits ports du Maine. Construit en 1871, c'est une des plus vieilles goélettes naviguant encore.

Ce schooner de cabotage a subi des restaurations pour reprendre ses lignes d'origines. Il navigue désormais comme voilier de croisière et propose des sorties de quelques jours.
Il possède 9 cabines lit double et 4 cabines lit simple.
