I'm curious, how does Virginia move at different points? Has to be fun learning her quirks.
Can’t wait to visit the schooners, up close ,in Camden this weekend
Make a visit to MFS part of your Labor Day Weekend plans. Virginia will be heading to the Camden Windjammer Festival on Thursday; you will be able to visit her there on Saturday. Meanwhile, here in Bath, we will have the Sagadahoc Heritage Center open Thursday-Monday--that's two extra days of access over the long weekend! And, when the ship's away, it's half you pay. So stop by to explore the museum with our knowledgeable docents. Come on Monday for both museum and Virginia.

Maine's First Ship partnered up with Friends of Seguin Island Light Station to ferry some of their guests to their end-of-season gathering yesterday. Thanks to Karissa Davan for the photo! #1607pinnacevirginia #seguinislandlightstation @seguinislandlight #coastofmaine #summersailinginmaine
And here’s one from Seguin.
We saw her that day - circumnavigated Segiun Island ( background) from atop the fort at Popham! Replica of the first ship built in America 1604- Wata Gem she is, resides in port at Bath Maine.
She looks great out on the water!
This is extraordinary
So cool right?
What a fabulous idea!💕
