M A I N E M A R I T I M E A C A D E M Y N E W S The Bowdoin Centennial Campaign


protect, and preserve the historic schooner Bowdoin. The grant will be received by the Bowdoin Centennial Campaign—a fund- raising eff ort to keep the vessel exploring, sailing and training for another 100 years. The campaign is funding a restoration project which has included the replacement of her 30-year-old deck, stanchions and ceiling timbers, along with several systems upgrades: an engine rebuild; increasing the tank capacities for fuel, fresh water and wastewater; a new refrigeration system; electrical system, and generator. A new foremast will be installed later this summer. Fundraising eff orts are still underway and the goal is to complete the campaign by year’s end. “We are proud to support the restoration


of this historic vessel and preserve her legacy for generations to come,” said Greg Dufour, president and chief executive offi cer of Camden National Bank. “As the offi cial vessel of the state of Maine and the fl agship of Maine Maritime Academy, the Bowdoin is a key piece of our heritage and an essential part of both the Academy program and the local community, and we hope to help keep her sailing and providing valuable training for as long as she can.” Bowdoin serves as the key training


ship for Maine Maritime Academy‘s Vessel Operations and Technology (VOT) and Small Vessel Operations (SVO) undergrad- uate programs, as well as the platform for MMA’s Sail Training Minor. When not in use for training purposes, Bowdoin’s popu- larity and historical charm keep her calendar brimming with public and private tours, appearances, and excursions. In addition to being designated the Offi cial Vessel of the State of Maine, Bowdoin is also a National Historic Landmark.
