The Spirit of Massachusetts is homeward bound! Please join us in welcoming home the Spirit, her crew and our students. We will be celebrating the completion of her voyage on Thursday, May 3, 2007. The students will be sailing the ship into New Bedford Harbor. If the winds are blowing in the right direction, they will be under full sail.

Festivities will begin at 10:00* am for the Welcome/Arrival into the harbor. A brief, formal ceremony will begin at 11:00 am. The celebration will include a graduation ceremony and reception. Tours of the Spirit will also take place.

Fairhaven Shipyard & Marina is located at 50 Fort Street, Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Visitor parking is available on the side streets.
