1. What a great vessel, double planked mahogany, bronze knees and diagonal strapping, and bronze fastened. I was first mate aboard 1978-1979 and few weeks for five additional summer sail training for Landmark. I recall leaving Manchester after breakfast and relaxing 100 miles later in Boothbay for supper–downeast on broad reach dipping the main boom in water. Wing and Wing down eggmoggin reach, setting the fisherman a few miles from northeast harbor and setting the anchor on the fly in Northeast-not easy on the mate. One time the When and IF chaffed through her mooring in the outer harbor where the bowsprit was piercing stormy seas, I was able to get aboard and circle around until the incoming tide flooded Manchester enough for her 9' draft. Unfortunately I was not around when she went on the rocks off Boardman Ave. We visited with Pendleton's who had long ago stopped building boats and owned the grocery on Main Street in Wiscasset.. She was build just east of the derelict schools, Luther Little and Hesper, in the late 70's only pilings remained of the Pendleton yard. The yard arm had to be removed for stability during the Landmark days–it was in the assistant Headmaster's office for many years. Thanks for sharing.

2. All I ask for is a tall ship and a star to sail her by…….

3. Absolutely great history..😊

4. No adults still alive from that generation my dad passed 11 years ago March 5 th I miss him he was drafted in 41 infantry trained then discharged for medical he had asthma and could not breath in the field . He worked at corning glass making war products .or I would of lost him from combat like so many other family members and I would not be hear either.

5. Hey I knew a guy that owned Arcturus and sailed her to NZ from Hawaii…

6. I was hoping there was something of his boat to Hawaii. He had a boat in California and sailed it and his family to Hawaii when he was stationed there in the 1920's I think.

7. Thank you so much for sharing this and your narration

8. GSPIII was the wealthiest soldier in the United States Army; not everyone has the coin for rigging such as that boat.

9. Patton deserved a long retirement on her.

10. Very very little of General Patton in this. He passed in 1945.

11. This is a very important historical film!

12. Thank you. A most beautiful memory for all of us.

13. We should be voting for a man like this for President. Or least Secretary of State

14. One of my patients in a nursing home served as atanker with the 3rd for 4 years , he was one tuff old dude

15. Wheres George C. Scott?!! 😂

16. I sailed on this magnificent vessel while attending Landmark School from 1975 to 1977. Spent many lazy days sailing to Marblehead lights and back with a long weekend sail up to Rockport Massachusetts.
    She is a fun and historic vessel. I was saddened to read in the Soundings magazine of When and If breaking her mooring in a Nor Easter storm where she has floundered upon the rocky shore.
    Glad she has found new owners that saw in her what We all at Landmark saw.

17. That moment of peace between the wars

18. Beautiful boat, the history only adds to her.

19. Patton was murdered.

20. Where is this boat now? Could you imagine owning a boat of such an American legend?

21. This guy doesn't seem to understamd where he is or what's happening around him ! Sounds like Biden. 🫡
