Overview
Built in 1881, this hotel is housed in a home that belonged to a ship captain. The name of the hotel, Seafaring Maiden, refers to the ship captain's daughter, Bessie, who led the ship and its crew across the Atlantic, when most of the crew (including her ship captain father) fell ill. This hotel is well-suited for guests who would like to include historical charm with their accommodations.
