When you first step aboard the Schooner J.& E. Riggin you immediately notice you have indeed stepped into another world and time long ago passed by. Captain Jon will tell you that whoever sails on the Riggin is truly part of the family...part of the heritage of the boat...and part of the lifeline that keeps this historic schooner alive. Here is a look at life on board a Maine Windjammer and all those who carry on the tradition, passengers and crew alike through the eyes of award winning photographer Frank M. Chillemi.
