Bufflehead is a 32 foot wooden gaff sloop, a classic boat, built in 1964. She is a very pretty boat, superbly swift, comfortable and safe. Captain Daniel Bennett sailed around the Pacific Ocean on a tall ship, and twice across the Atlantic (and back and forth to the Caribbean) on his own small boat.

We stopped in the Sail Power and Steam Museum while walking on the Rockland Harbor Trail, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the Rockland area. It is a must-see if you are interested in the local history and maritime history, with a large and unique collection of items. I recommend using the guided DVD tour so that you can hear Captain Jim Sharp's stories and information about each room.

This museum has a very large collection of three generations of the Wyeth family and should be a got to for anyone visiting or staying in Rockland. There are other artists represented from the 1800's on and it is a good place to learn a bit about the history of the area. Tickets prices are $15, with a discount to $13 for seniors. Well worth it. It is open usually from 10 t0 5.
