Sailing Ship in Maine - Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was spotted whilst driving along Route 1, the coastal route, from Bath to Bar Harbor, Maine. Somewhere near Wiscasset or Damariscotta, but I neglected to write down the location! 


This two dimensional weathervane is mounted above a cupola over a former barn that has been converted into an antique shop.  There are three masts and a very distinctive flag at the stern or the ship, rather like the Betsy Ross 13 star flag.   

Does anyone know the location of this weathervane?  Or the story behind this interesting ship?
