Sailing Over A Bank - Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed in Southwest Harbor, Maine.

Whilst touring Acadia National Park we decided to take a drive over to "the quiet side" of Mount Desert Island.  We explored Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, Seal Cove, and Somes Sound.  Along the way we spotted this interesting weathervane over a bank.

This three dimensional sailing ship has a lot of fine details.  You can see the rigging, sails, and even structures on the deck.  A close up look at this photograph showed details we couldn't see in person, including the fact that the hull of this ship might be made of wood.  If you can enlarge the photo above, you will see this detail, too!

It's a very appropriate weathervane for a coastal community on an island.  We enjoyed a fine seafood lunch nearby after taking this photograph!
