A small group of Cape Ann Museum patrons embarked on a “Lane in Maine” sailing trip aboard the 1930 Gloucester-built schooner the “American Eagle” between September 14-19, 2025. Eighteen guests began their trip with guided visits to the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, before then boarding the schooner for a multi-day exploration of many of the same harbors and islands that Fitz Henry Lane visited on successive visits during the late 1840s through mid-1850s.
