Felcity was built and launched in Camden, ME about 1969/70 by Elmer Collemer.
This short little schooner followed us home this winter from Charleston, SC to get new frames, floor timbers, planking, deadwood, keel plank and much more.
After relaunching her again in Camden later this year, she'll travel back to Charleston, S.C. to sail again on a regular basis.

Today is the 350th anniversary of the founding of the City of Charleston, S.C.
The first ship landed in a small creek just off the Ashley River and the English settlers set up a fort that they used to protect themselves from possible Spanish and Indians attacks. They stayed for 10 years before establishing what is now the City of Charleston on the peninsula just to the north. The original landing spot in 1670 is now the Chalestowne Landing State Park.

My crew and I have had the privilege of spending weeks or sometimes months over the last 7 years in Charleston to maintain and repair the replica that sits at original landing spot. Each Winter we haul it out of the creek, thru 2 draw bridges, around the City Battery, past Fort Sumnter and up the Wando River to the City Boatyard.
Each year we work very hard to meet strict schedules based on tides and D.O.T. bridges restrictions. This year our deadline was a little more stressful. The Adventure II had to get back to the park for the 350th birthday party. There were almost 3,000 man hours of work to be done and we weren't able to start until the 2nd week of January.
Unfortunately as the weeks past and the launch date became within sight our goals were quickly changing. By 3rd week of March, the place were we stay was closing down to non-residents, the park was shutting down and we were getting very nervous that we weren't going make our launch date and the vessel was to be stuck at the yard for who knows how long.
Of all the projects that I've been involved with or in charge of, I never been so stressed about finishing in time. Not only was there money on the line, but everyone's safety was quickly became a major concern. Would we be able to return the vessel to the park? Would we be able to complete all the tasks? If we didnt finish and get paid how does that effect everyones return home to growing difficult times? It was a very stressful time for everyone on the project. Our nightly conversations were jokes and laughter, but by Mid March they were taking a darker turn.
To make a long story short. We finished, got to an empty park on an off tide, got stuck in the sand, had to over come high winds and a draw bridge operator with a sh*tty attitude. But we made it 349 years, 11 months and 5 days after the orginal vessel landed in the same spot.
Sadly there is no big celebration, but
I want to thank my crew and all the others that helped us finish and get home as safely and as soon as possible!!
Thank you very much to everyone!
