Boothbay Harbor, Maine, still retains its character as a classic New


England fishing town, although its main businesses these days are yachting and tourism (scenes from the 1956 movie musical Carousel were filmed in its picturesque environs). But the best way to bond with the rustic beauty of Boothbay is to cruise it in a tall masted schooner, which you’ll have the pleasure to do, with the sea breeze in your hair and a gently rolling deck beneath your feet.


“Turncoat” Benedict Arnold is best remembered as America’s most infamous


traitor – but before he switched sides, he was one of the Continental Army’s best fighting generals... proud, ambitious, and often reckless... the man who captured Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen, and had his horse shot out from under him as he rallied his troops in a mad, drunken charge against the British forces at Saratoga, which turned the tide of the battle (and the Revolutionary War). There are plenty of stories of heroism and tragedy in the quiet monuments around this forest town, better known for horse racing than as the place where the pride of the British Army surrendered to the Americans in 1777, and the world turned upside down. And today... great gambles are still won at Saratoga.
