Captain Daggett - Boat Tour Series - The Ice Breaker Abegweit ( Columbia Yacht Club )

[@attilladacook3405]

I’m 71. I remember my dad taking me with him to sail as a small child on the Sea Hawk. Afterwards we would go into the Yatch club, a beer for Dad and a Shirley Temple for me. I loved going up and down the grand staircase, sometimes being told it wasn’t to play on. I wasn’t playing, I WAS a princess! Lol that was during the 50’s and early 60’s. Then during the late 60’/70’s he’d sail on the Holiday. Both captains were the Keefe brothers. My dad got married and I never went sailing again, probably best because I would get really sea sick, heck I get sea sick in a canoe.

Been aboard her and sailed on her many times as my Gather was a Captain 🧑‍✈️ Aboard the Crown Jewel Abegweit. Captain. William “Bill” S. MacMillan. An Absolute Stunning Vessel Inside and Out. She was A Classy Ship and one we missed the boat on not keeping her ourselves for Historical Purposes. However I am happy she was saved and not meeting the same fate as the other Vessels, in Going To Scrap. Thank U for sharing this.

I spent many a happy hour sailing on the Abegweit on the Northumberland Straight between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, Canada.

P.S… Abegweit is pronounced “AbbyGwayy” or “AbbyGwitt” no V in the name. Commonly just referred to as the Abby
