Every Labor Day weekend during Camden Windjammer Festival, command of the harbormaster’s favorite deck chair is turned over to nautical historian Capt. Jim Sharp (co-founder of the Sail, Power and Steam Museum), from which he announces and narrates the arrival of the fleet. The roster includes a vessel built to ply the Arctic, grand schooners built specifically for the tourist trade and windjammers on the National Historic Register launched to sail goods from far and wide to America more than 100 years ago. Capt. Sharp knows them all well. If he didn’t crew aboard them at one time, he charted their courses, taught knots and winds to their captains or was friends with the old salts who designed and built them.
