At 123 years old, the Victory Chimes has been at sea for over 44,000 sunrises. As a maritime photographer, to think I had the opportunity to film her last at sea is both poignant, sentimental, and bittersweet. The ship might be under tow, but that doesn't take away from the beauty and history of the lone schooner. While she may spend her days as a permanent fixture, serving as a restaurant moored to the shore without the promise of ever setting sail again, she will also embrace a fresh and noble mission. Her new role will be to enlighten and inspire the public, offering a captivating window into America's maritime past
Victory Chimes, originally named the "Edwin and Maud" when she was launched in 1900, began her career as a cargo vessel. She was initially designed and used for transporting goods along the East Coast of the United States. The ship played a crucial role in the transportation of cargo during a time when sailing vessels were vital for commerce and trade.
Her early years as the "Edwin and Maud" saw her serving various roles in the maritime industry, contributing to the movement of goods and resources along the coastal routes. It was only later, in 1945, that she was acquired by Captain Jim Sharp and underwent significant renovations to transform into a passenger schooner, at which point she was renamed Victory Chimes. This transition marked a new chapter in her career, as she shifted from cargo transport to providing scenic and historic sailing experiences to passengers along the coast of Maine.

I first went sailing on the Victory Chimes in 1993. It was supposed to be one and done and on to the next item on the bucket list. But I was hooked, on sailing and on Maine. Became my home away from home until 2022. Thank you for sharing this, brings tears to my eyes. Hope one day I am able to get back to NYC to see her in her new home. To Captains Kip Files, Paul DeGaeta, Sam Sakema and all the crew members I've met over the years, thank you for taking such good care of her and leaving me with so many wonderful memories.
You made a lot of people happy with this one!
Well...thats one way to move a nest! ;)
Best footage I've ever seen of VC. Shame it was such a sad occasion. Let's hope her new owners maintain her. I mentioned on a forum that I was worried, and was told that the new owners were careful and caring. Let's hope!
Thanks for the kind words! Feel free to share this with anybody that you know involved in her preservation etc. :-)
There’s a story about them in the new issue of Wooden Boat Magazine!
@peggyhuckel8265 I wish they reached out to get photos from me I have quite a few of them from that day
Painful
Lovely video. Why did you spoil it with that insipid, horrible music?
Horrible music? If you listen to the lyrics it fits rather well considering the fate of the vessel and of course the overall cinematic feeling
