Sunday March 26, 2023 - 3pm
The annual meeting of Maine’s First Ship was held on Sunday March 26, 2023 from 3-5pm at Sarah’s Cafe in Wiscasset Maine.
2022 was a banner year in the history of the Maine’s First Ship with the launch and the first voyage of Virginia. It also marks a year of transition from construction to having a ship in the water. These changes will continue in 2023 as we make further progress in making Virginia operational.
The meeting included thanks to the retiring president, Orman Hines, the election of new officers, reports on the status of the organization, and voting on revised bylaws.
