Angelique Ketch With Good Wind

The 95 ft Angelique ketch was built in 1980 to depict an English fishing trawler (circa 1880) that fished the North Sea. Her tanbark sails reflect the common practice in England to treat sails with tallow, tannic acid, and red ocher to make the cotton canvas more resistant to mildew. She does windjammer cruises out of Camden, Maine, but this day we saw her enjoying a fine wind near Bar Harbor. www.sailangelique.com/welcome-aboard/
