Matt made it back to Boston! He’s working his way home to Maine while Alicia spends a few more days in sunny CA!
It's good to know that our Winterfest Baked Bean "Supper" will be held on Saturday, February 21, 1-3pm (a new time so you can enjoy beans and the lantern parade!); at the Bath Freight Shed, 27 Commercial Street; it'll be take-out and by donation (suggested $5). What else should you know? This year's event is sponsored by friends and neighbors: Bath Subaru, The Fountain Ice Cream & Deli, and J.R. Maxwell & Co. This means you get tasty beans and mac'n'cheese and your donation dollars support the educational programming of MFS. We encourage you to support local businesses that support community events and local organizations. Please thank these folks the next time you visit the garage, go out for dinner, or enjoy an ice cream. #shoplocalsupportlocal Main Street Bath #bathwinterfest #community #historycommunityingenuity
Bruce's workmate is not feeling well, so the two of them are taking the day off from their project here; Bruce still came by to do some shoveling. Don is patching walls in the Freight Shed kitchen. Matt & Alicia met up with Capt. JB Smith out at the Tall Ships America Conference and posed for a couple of photos. 🤔Hmm, did you notice that we have a pose shot and a work shot for Bruce & Don, but a pose and another posed shot (not even a different pose!) from Matt & Alicia? 😉 Actually the word is that another conference session just started--they are keeping busy out there: learning, networking, sharing the story of Maine's First Ship. It looks like at least at MFS, while the cat's away the mice will keep on working! 😃 #weloveourvolunteers #1607pinnacevirginia #bathfreightshed #tallshipsamericaconference2026 #historycommunityingenuity
Last night Alicia and Matt got to tour the ships at the San Diego Maritime Museum as part of the Tall Ships America annual conference.
These included a 16th century Spanish galleon replica, the USS Dolphin (the last active electric deisel submarine in the US Fleet) and shown here the HMS Suprise, the ship used in the Russel Crowe movie “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.”
They’re having a great time in CA connecting with other tall ship organizations!
Alicia and Matt made it to Chula Vista CA and are gearing up for day one of the Tall Ships America Annual Conference!

If Saturdays make you think Baked Beans then make a plan now to join MFS on the 21st when we will have beans from J.R. Maxwell & Co. and mac n’ cheese from The Fountain. Stop by the Bath Freight Shed, 27 Commercial Street, to refuel after your morning Winterfest activities. NEW TIME: 1-3pm. Are you ready, Yeti?
