1900 George K Phillips Co Chesapeake Ram Schooner

Secured Party Sale At Public Auction number 23-53. Maine’s Premier Windjammer is heading to public auction. The VICTORY CHIMES (official number 136784), is a three-masted, gaff-rigged Chesapeake Ram schooner with 21 cabins. Passenger cruises along the coast of Maine began in 1954 and her home port has been Rockland, Maine for many decades. She is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Parks Service. The Maine State Legislature recognized her as a premier vessel in the Maines Windjammer Fleet, and in 2003 she was featured and minted on the Maine State Quarter. There are many good years left in her service, and the marketing, historical, educational, and repurposing opportunities that she can provide are great. The current US Coastguard certification has expired and the extensive work and expense that will be required in order for her to be able to return to passenger service is forcing the owner and the lender to sell the vessel at a Secured Party Sale at Public Auction.
