Huzzah! Grateful to have Virginia and crew safely home after their longest journey/biggest adventure yet: taking part in Sail Boston, visiting Plymouth with the Mayflower II, returning via Gloucester to stop in Newburyport, seeing The Pride of Baltimore II as they sailed for Maine yesterday. Once things are cleaned up, dried out, and there's been a chance to lie down, there will be the stories. Next Wednesday, July 29, at 7pm we will close out our #SummerLectureSeries with "Bath to Boston, and Beyond! Stories from the Crew who took Virginia to Boston," but first, join us tonight for Arthur Spiess, PhD, and "Native American Archaeology around Casco Bay and the lower Kennebec." 7pm, Wednesday, July 22, at 27 Commercial Street, Bath.

Congratulations to all involved. Quite the adventure.
Huzzah and welcome home!
Local folks might have heard the horn from the bridge shortly before 9:30. Bridge is up and we can see Virginia approaching. Expect her to arrive at the dock within the next 10 minutes.⚓

I have missed her in my morning walks ! WELCOME HOME!
TONIGHT, Wednesday, July 22, 7pm, at the Bath Freight Shed, 27 Commercial Street, alongside the Kennebec River in Bath, Maine: Join MFS as we welcome Archaeologist Arthur Spiess to present as part of our #summerlectureseries, "Native American Archaeology around Casco Bay and the lower Kennebec." Colonists were at the Popham site for just over a year. Indigenous peoples moved through these lands for thousands of years--what did they leave behind?

But the crew was able to repel!

Fire in the hole!
Beautiful vessel built by incredible artists and craftsmen/women! It's an honor to, occasionally, volunteer to help them.

Nice.

Jeff Cutler word (via FB) from Pride of Baltimore II "PRIDE II is bound for the cooler waters of Portland, Maine, where she is expected to arrive on Thursday & berth at Fore Points Marina."
Tell the Baltimore they are headed in the wrong direction. Although, come to think of it, Virginia is a little more difficult to reach if you come in this direction. I guess that’s a lesson in the naming of sailing vessels. That’s above my pay grade, but stop by the freight shed and ask about it.

Being pursued by the Pride of Baltimore should strike fear into your crew!
I saw the pictures of you together
This is great. Thx for sharing.
