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.
