Stephen Taber (schooner)

Stephen Taber is a two-masted schooner, built in 1871, operating as a "windjammer" in the tourist trade out of Rockland, Maine.

Her framing and planking are oak, and were originally fastened with treenails, which were replaced during restorative work with galvanized spikes.

[3] Stephen Taber was launched in October 1871 at Bedel Shipyard in Glenwood Landing, New York, on the south coast of Long Island Sound.

Until about 1920 she worked primarily in the area around New York Harbor, although she was briefly adapted for carrying passengers in 1900 and 1902 when the coasting business was slow.

In 1946 she was sold to Captain Boyd Guild, who adapted her for the "windjammer" tourist trade, a role she has served since, now based in Rockland, Maine.
