TONIGHT! We wrap our Summer Lecture Series with a Panel Discussion featuring some of the MFS Volunteers who took part in our Sail Boston adventure. Come hear their reflections on sailing Virginia south to Boston and then on to Plymouth before returning to Bath via Gloucester and Newburyport. Vessel and crew joined the Parade of Sail with ships from around the globe and over the course of the entire trip welcomed well over 2,000 visitors onboard to learn more about our "pretty pinnace."
7pm, Wednesday, July 29, 2026 at 27 Commercial Street in historic downtown Bath, Maine. Thanks to MFS Volunteer Kelly Cooper for this shot of Virginia taken from aboard Lynx during the SailBoston Parade of Sail on July 11.
