Description
A color image depicts the Sunbeam V breaking ice in Somes Sound, Mount Desert, in front of Able's Boat Yard to clear a safe passage for boats. Captain Mike Johnson was at the helm.
The Sunbeam V is a 74-foot vessel with a 21-foot beam and has been in service since 1995. It was designed by John W. Gilbert of Boston, Massachusetts, and built by Washburn & Doughty in East Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
The ship is powered by a Caterpillar C18 454-horsepower engine, with a cruising speed of 10 knots, two generators, and a 250-horsepower diesel engine. The vessel features a dedicated island health and outreach office and a crew of four full-time members.
Maine Seacoast Mission has been a trusted friend along the Maine coast since 1905. Rooted in a history of compassionate service and mutual trust, the Mission seeks to strengthen coastal and island communities by educating youth, supporting families, and promoting good health.
