The shipbuilders, board of directors and I want to say, “Thank You” to the Wiscasset community for making Virginia’s winter a wonderful success. Thanks to you for the great article on Maine’s First Ship and Virginia this past winter. So many Lincoln County folks welcomed us, asked great questions and helped to keep an eye on the vessel during those challenging weather days. It was not uncommon to get a call from someone who saw loose tarp edges whipping in the wind.
We look forward to the vessel’s return to the Kennebec River – the waters of her origin. We also look forward to years of winter adventures in the Sheepscot, where the ice is not so threatening. We hope to be able to welcome folks aboard during our next time at your town dock!
