Was Angelique built for Maine windjamming?
|
|
Yes. Angelique was built in 1980 specifically
for the Maine windjammer trade with passenger comfort
in mind.

|
Why the red sails?
|
|
Angelique depicts an English fishing trawler
(circa 1880) that fished the North Sea. It was common
in England to treat sails to make the cotton canvas
more resistant to mildew with tallow, tannic acid, and
red ocher.
