Just in time: new MFS tote bags featuring our favorite 1607 pinnace, Virginia, have arrived. Fill them with books--we have more titles than we have authors signing on Saturday. Present them filled with gifts; bring along your lunch, your knitting project, or your field journal and binoculars; or use to lug home your shopping all while showing your love for Maine's First Ship. Details on our December 13th Holiday Gift Sale and Author signing at mfship.org/events. #historyingenuitycommunity #1607pinnacevirginia #oldfashionedchristmasinbath #booksigningevent #SailtheStory
They say the early bird gets the worm. This time of year worms may be scarce, but the early bird gets the best selection at the MFS Holiday Gift Sale and Author Signing. A new tote bag design will debut at the sale on Saturday; select favorites will be 20% off; authors who serve as MFS volunteers will be signing their books... It's fun and it's right alongside the Bath Farmers Market (9am-noon), so you can probably find a snack that is way more tasty than some worm you picked up off the ground. Details and list of participating authors at mfship.org/events. #historyingenuitycommunity #seagullsofmaine #kennebecriver #bathmaine #oldfashionedchristmasinbath
Raffle tickets for the rowing wherry, Pegasus, are limited to 200--the draw for the winning ticket will take place once we have sold all the tickets. This is an easy win-win: you support MFS programs AND you get the fun/excitement/anticipation that comes with being part of the pool. Of course, for one lucky ticket holder, it will be a win-WIN! We think raffle tickets make great gifts for MFS fans and for rowers. Want a sure thing?--get an MFS membership or make a donation in the name of a loved one. You'll both know you are supporting this unique endeavor, a good feeling that lasts all year long.
Thanks to Main Street Bath for the photo, taken during a networking evening we hosted together in October. #community #1607pinnacevirginia #rowingwherry #historyingenuitycommunity
With her tanbark sails and chevron design along her bulwarks, Virginia looks unlike other vessels that frequent the waters along the coast of Maine. She certainly turns heads and many enjoy taking her picture. Two photojournalists who have volunteered with MFS will be at our Author Signing on Saturday with their books of photographs. Paul Cunningham documented years of her volunteer-powered construction and Keith Spiro produced a series of broadsides featuring Virginia and her crewe in celebration of her launch. Come meet Paul and Keith and see Virginia in a new way. Join us for books and prints, plus a variety of Virginia-themed items for your holiday gifting! 9am-12noon at the Bath Freight Shed, 12/13/25. #photoessay #booksigning #1607pinnacevirginia #maritimephotography #documentaryphotography #historyingenuitycommunity
