Penobscot Rising — A Journey from Bucksport to Bangor

Travel upriver through history aboard the historic schooner Harvey Gamage during this one-way voyage from Bucksport to Bangor.

As we sail along the Penobscot River, historians from the Penobscot Marine Museum will share the stories of the river’s historic communities, old wharves, maritime landmarks, and industries. Discover how the Penobscot River’s reach into the heart of Maine helped shape the region’s maritime history.

Guests will be joined by Penobscot Marine Museum historians Cipperly Good and Jon Johansen, along with historical reenactors who will help bring the river’s past to life.

Every voyage is shaped by the wind, tides, weather, and river conditions. Guests are welcome to help raise and trim the sails, take a turn at the helm, learn about traditional seamanship, or simply relax on deck and enjoy Maine’s scenery beneath Harvey Gamage’s canvas.

Following the sail, passengers will disembark at the Bangor City Dock at approximately 11:15 AM.…
