Here's more from this afternoon's training session. Two hours later than that "moody" sky...

There has been more activity than we have photos for; here are a few quick pics for you, illustrating both progress and Maine's infamous weather:
rigging work and exhibit work happening inside the Freight Shed (a week ago when jackets were still in use); some visitors who arrived by either water or air and missed the fact that the doors were closed;
gathering for a safety training session (today, so you will notice shorts);
and Virginia, showing progress in the uprigging process, under a moody sky.

Tickets are still available for our first 2 hour public sail of the 2026 season, and YOU could be one of the 6 people to be on it!
Tickets available to purchase online at mfship.org/sailing
If you stopped by the Bath Freight Shed today you may have seen someone wandering with a large video camera.
That was Paul filming some of the things we do here at Maine’s First Ship for our new promotional video for the Maine Office of Tourism!
Stay tuned for the finished product, coming soon!
New merch and more at Maine's First Ship today. Stop in while you enjoy beautiful downtown Bath during Main Street Bath's Spring into Summer activities and get suited up for summer! We will have free admission for the day, 10am-3pm, so you can get a first look at new exhibits currently under construction. Virginia is back at her home dock and volunteers are getting her rigged for the summer sailing season. We will be filming promotional video. There is plenty going on; our Nautical Yard Sale has been postponed.
