CommentsHeart's Desire is a double gaff rig schooner designed by John Alden and built by T. S. Soule in Freeport, Maine in 1925. She was completely restored in 1980 by builder Paul Rollins (York, ME) and was recently extensively refit by Matthew Hobart at Gannon & Benjamine Railway in Vineyard Haven, MA.
