He also crews aboard the pinnace "Virginia" (A replica of the first European built boat in the Americas in 1608), the 1906 Bath-built Schooner "Mary E" and cruise boat "Merrymeeting" based at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. On his off time Craig works for the Town of Woolwich as an AEMT.
Luke Small
Luke grew up spending summers lobstering and fishing Cape Cod Bay and Mid-Coast Maine. Luke has spent the past 8 years teaching traditional wooden boatbuilding skills at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath and the Carpenter's Boat Shop in Bristol. Luke is currently First Mate on the 74 foot Gaff-rigged Cutter sloop “Frances” out of Portland and has his 100 ton USCG Captains license.

Scott Amundson
Scott is an avid sailor and Jack of all trades. A master of all things mechanical, Scott is a welcome addition to our crew and invaluable calm presence on board. Perhaps more importantly, he keeps his captain in line when Craig spends too much time waxing poetic about history and ecology!
​
Emma Collins
Emma has been sailing since she was 6 years old, racing Opti's and sneaking off in her Sunfish when her parents weren't keeping a close watch over her. After graduating from Bates college in December 2025, Emma is pursuing her other passion, Paramedicine/firefighting. Despite her best efforts and often begrudgingly, Emma has absorbed a certain amount of sailing knowledge from her father who is (not begrudgionally) proud of the competent sailor she has become.
