Today we hosted the Boothbay Region Elementary 6th grade class. They were really excited to hoist the staysail on this blustery Friday!
Thanks to our volunteer educators Ted, Fred, and Phil for showing them how exciting a class trip to MFS can be!
We saw more students on Virginia today!
Thank you to St. Michael’s for bringing your 8th Graders to Maine’s First Ship!
Reg is sanding the railing on the Freight Shed deck and, true to his word, Fred is back to work on the topmast today.

Visiting Fort King George museum in Darien, GA, a once bustling timber port, saw this drawing representing log shaping from the 1750s. Hey Fred - old ways still work!
Fred is just having too much fun!!
Chilly, wet, and quiet here this morning. Second photo shows the other end of the mast log Fred is working on behind the shallop Jane Stevens.
