Some years ago Gail, one of our dedicated volunteer shipbuilders, shared some photos. This detail is from a photo taken in April 2021. Happy winter Wednesday from Maine's First Ship. #weloveourvolunteers #woodenships #1607pinnacevirginia #community #historyingenuitycommunity
Here you see the Topsail Tool Tossers, who meet weekly for beer and pizza . . . and a quick game of Cubb (a Swedish court game). This is just one way are volunteers keep busy in the off season.
Fred was by the office the other day to discuss acquiring wood for another part he'll be making; docents are meeting monthly; the Clothing Crewe is meeting every other week to stitch together; we have a couple who have been reading about the Age of Exploration and "digging deeper into the history of the Popham Colony" to enhance their efforts as guides for our guests; we have a dedicated team working on projects at the Freight Shed; people are planning programs and submitting grant applications--and more. Because, despite today's blizzard conditions, it will be summer soon and that season is far too short for everything MFS does!
