Sail into Maine’s history with this unique ornament featuring the pinnace Virginia known as “Maine’s First Ship.” The original vessel was built in 1607 along the Maine coast, and today’s reconstruction is the result of a remarkable community-wide project in Bath, Maine.

Each ornament is printed on Baltic birch plywood I drew based on a photo I took while walking along Bath's Commercial Street during Bath Heritage Days in 2023 while she was under full sale.

Whether hung on your Christmas tree or displayed year-round, it’s a piece of Maine heritage you can treasure at home. No two ornaments are exactly alike. Subtle variations in color and finish make each one a unique keepsake — just like the story it represents.
