The derelict 4-masted schooners the Luther Little and the Hesper on the waterfront of Wiscasset, Maine, were a major landmark for 70 years, until they finally collapsed into a rotted woodpile in the late 1990's and were then hauled away to the town dump.

My brother and I enjoyed taking our skiff up the Sheepscott River to visit them, climbing aboard them and seeing what we could find. Most of the photos were taken by my big brother.

Here's a Facebook link to the album: click her for PIXS

Enjoy prowling around these old ships yourselves but watch your step!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
