CSF Volunteers Go To The Deltaville Waterman's Festival

May 02, 2009

Members of The Colonial Seaport Foundation set up a display of maritime sailing specialties including navigation, seamanship, shipbuilding, knot tying and more. Of course, they were also more than happy to disuss the Luna project and collect donations and new foundation members.

Our Projects

As an educational organization, the Colonial Seaport Foundation is involved in a wide variety of projects and events. Events are short-term presentations, seminars or gatherings. We present information of our events on the News and Events page here.

Projects are more involved and long-termed than events. For instance, a major multi-year project we have undertaken is the rebuilding of the ketch Luna. We are in the process of transforming her into a working representation of an 18th century merchant vessel. Once finished, she will will be a portable classroom; a hands-on demonstration of our colonial maritime heritage. Click on the links below to visit our projects.
