Beautiful reconstructed half size fishing schooner Rose Dorothea, which impressively won a race in the early 1900s, well worth a visit on the second floor in the cool air conditioned library on a hot summer day.

Went in for the public restroom, went up for the great view. They have a half scale boat in the second (kids) level.
