Maine's First Ship Coming Back

Among the treasures of New England is the region's rich history and the many efforts to preserve artifacts, historical places, and other features of this history. One such initiative is the work being done in Bath, ME, to build a replica of the 1608 pinnace Virginia, which is considered to be the first English ship built in the New World
