Have you heard about our voyage next year?

For America's 250th Anniversary (and Gazela's 125th), we're embarking on a 6-week journey to the Chesapeake Bay! We're going to need all hands on deck for the next few months getting our favorite barkentine ready for her long journey, so we need your support!

We need to inspect her spars, replace the main mast, and get our crew ready for such a big voyage, so if you want to make such a big celebration possible, consider becoming a sponsor today! We're almost halfway towards reaching our funding goal, and with your support, we can reach it!

DONATE NOW and read more through the link below!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

An encore share of a photo from last year, what some of us refer to as "the gourd ship Virginia." ๐Ÿ˜‰
MFS Volunteer Ken Moller, who usually works on the large model of Virginia in the visitor center, created a very special limited edition model last fall. Happy Halloween, Everyone! ๐ŸŽƒ

"The 105-year-old Class 'A' tall ship was originally the Jemo, a German steamship, part of the herring fishing fleet in the North Atlantic."

Arriving on Dublin Bay today is the Dutch-flagged Wylde Swan from Ullapool on the west coast of Scotland
