The Victory Chimes - One Last Ride! 4K Drone Experience!

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.
