Join MFS this Wednesday when our lead rigger and award-winning author Jim Nelson/James L. Nelson explores the history behind European rigging and Virginia's rigging as part of our #summerlectureseries. (He's a bona fide storyteller, folks, you don't want to miss this.) #historicalrigging #1607pinnacevirginia James L. Nelson #ingenuity #historyingenuitycommunity
Will this be recorded so I can listen to it?
This is it!—your last chance to be part of the excitement of the Parade of Sail, surrounded by dozens of vessels, thousands of spectators, and one of the largest maritime celebrations in the country. You could experience it all from the deck of Virginia during the Sail Boston 2026 Parade of Sail on Saturday, July 11. To learn more and to reserve this final spot, please contact Interim Executive Director Matt Blazek, matt@mfship.org.

Not much of a ship
I can't imagine sailing across the Atlantic in a boat that small.
The Virginia is SUCH A TREASURE!!!!
Happy 4th Virginia and crew.
It was awesome to sail into Cabbage Island, and then Boothbay Harbor with you and many other windjammers last week. I was aboard the Schooner Lewis R. French
Such a beautiful boat!
Went right in front of our house!
Awesome pics!
