Maine's first ship, the Virginia, is on its way to Boston for Sail250 and the Parade of Sail, a gathering of tall ships at ports along the East Coast. The 51-foot replica ship was first launched on the Kennebec River in 2022. Now, it's on its longest voyage yet. "Usually, the longest we go up is to Camden for their Windjammer Festival on Labor Day weekend," said Matt Blazek, executive director of Maine's First Ship.
