Last Friday evening MFS Volunteers came together for a potluck to kick off the season. In addition to sharing some tasty dishes, getting to know new Volunteer Coordinator Connie, and hearing remarks on the upcoming season from interim Executive Director Matt, those gathered remembered fellow volunteer Bob Ireland who recently passed. Thank you to those who were able to attend and provided a delicious spread! If you would like to get involved we are in need of folks to join us as sailing crew, museum docents, and event support. Reach out to Connie at volunteer@mfship.org. #community #historyingenuitycommunity #nonprofitsmakecommunitiesbetter #volunteersmakeithappen

Huzzah! Weeks of safety training + a successful visit with the U.S. Coast Guard yesterday = a brand new Certificate of Inspection for Virginia as a dockside attraction! This means we can have more visitors on deck when at our home dock or visiting other ports. Reaching this long-anticipated milestone is a great way to start the summer. Hope your summer includes a visit to Maine's First Ship.
(We are still limited to 6 guests when sailing.)

On Saturday, Vivian--whose capable hands you see here--and her Clothing Crewe met in the Jane Stevens Sagadahoc Heritage Center to add labels into items of clothing they have crafted for our volunteer sailors to wear for interpretation and education aboard the ship. This is the final step for the shirts, slops, and cassocks, all handstitched with care by this dedicated group.
