Virginia has been shifted to an inside berth at Strouts Point Wharf where she is spending the winter. Our handy & hardy volunteers spent some of their Thanksgiving pie calories putting up the frame for her cover. #1607pinnacevirginia #woodenboats #grateful #manyhandsmakelightwork #historyingenuitycommunity
Tired from travelling for the holiday? Still hoarse from football cheering? Were you up early for Black Friday deals? You don't need an excuse to put your feet up and take a break, so grab that last piece of pie you hid in the back of the fridge and enjoy this video from the 2025 edition of Boothbay Harbor's Windjammer Days. Beautiful boats, conversations with Coasties, and plenty of family fun--all thanks to Boothbay Region TV.

Two weeks from today we invite you to join us as we host some MFS Volunteers who are also authors for a special holiday book signing. Our volunteers have a variety of experiences and the books on offer cover a range of topics. Add in our fun and unique Virginia merch and there's something for everyone! Whether you are looking for gifts or want to treat yourself, please come by the Bath Freight Shed between 9am and noon, when both the Bath Farmers Market and our signing event will be in session as part of Main Street Bath's Downtown Day December 13. This fun morning is just a small part of more than a month to enjoy An Old Fashioned Christmas in Bath. Learn more about our writers and photographers and the books they will have at mfship.org/events. See you there! #oldfashionedchristmasinbath #downtownday #booksigning #community #bathmaine

Maine's First Ship is grateful for our dedicated volunteers, our generous supporters, our enthusiastic visitors, and those who share their photos! Thanks to Jake Ward for this stunning shot taken during Virginia's sail to Camden in August. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and many reasons for gratitude.
We are expressing our gratitude this week and that includes acknowledging Matt Blazek who joined the MFS staff in March of 2024. Earlier this month Matt was one of the Excellence Award winners recognized by the New England Museum Association--Huzzah!
The attached image is from the NEMA site and their Facebook page, New England Museum Association, has a link to a short video introducing the award winners. Congratulations to Matt and all the winners. #1607pinnacevirginia #handsonlearning #community #historyingenuitycommunity
