Ep. 95: The Schooner Bowdoin
Built in 1921 for Arctic exploration, The schooner Bowdoin has been taking explorers, scientists, and students into the high latitudes for more than a century. Throughout her history, the well thought-out design by William Hand Jr. and stout construction by the Hodgdon Yard in Maine provided a safe haven in some of the harshest conditions the earth has to offer. From offshore gales to long winters frozen into the ice, Bowdoin has proved herself over and over again.
Since 1998, Bowdoin has been under the care of the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine. However, her second life in academia has not been a retirement from Arctic adventure. On this episode of ATB, we talk with Alex Peacock, the captain and passionate steward of Bowdoin and discuss his recent trip north of the Arctic Circle on MMA's iconic schooner.
