Surprise Schooner Out of Camden
Surprise Schooner Out of Camden

Built in Rockport, Massachusetts in 1918 for Martin Kattenhorn, Surprise began her life as a racing and cruising yacht. She could set a mainsail, foresail, staysail , jib, main topsail, and a fisherman staysail. Surprise was a respected racer. In 1923, she captured sixth place in a fleet of 22 vessels in the first race to Bermuda after World War I. Here she seems to be setting sails with the staysailand jib still to go. Surprise currently does tours by the islands near Camden Maine. I took the photo while sailing on the schooner Olad.
