1916 Historic Maine Windjammer Schooner
The well-loved MERCANTILE is a joy to behold and is often referred to as the “Prettiest coaster on the bay.” She was built by the Billings yard on Deer Isle, Maine in 1916 for hauling lumber and granite, and has continued to earn her keep in and around Penobscot Bay ever since. A familiar sight in local ports for more than 100 years, she is listed on the register of National Landmarks and dear to the hearts of many.
