History
Established in 1978.
Launched on August 22, 1978, the Schooner Appledore II is proud of her colorful history. The Appledore II is the largest of her four sister ships, Appledores I, III, IV, and V. The Appledore was the last schooner custom built by the Harvey Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine. Previously, the Harvey Gamage Yard had built and launched some of the nations more famous tall ships. This list includes the Mary Day, the Harvey Gamage, the Shenandoah, the Bowdoin and the Spirit of Massachusetts.
Her maiden voyage was an 18-month circumnavigation, commenced in November of 1978 from Portsmouth, New Hampshire and completed there after the Appledore visited many ports of call around the world. This voyage has been chronicled in two books, Dreams of Natural Places, A New England Schooner Odyssey and Sailing Three Oceans, both authored by Herbert Smith.
