Need help for ship visitors

Submitted by ChuckSings on Tue, 2010-07-20 03:01.

Shipmates,

Summer and the new hotel are bringing more traffic to Ernestina. Leah Jeffries is also succeeding in scheduling visits by larger groups, but she needs help now.

Please, call her and fix a schedule or give her times when you can be on-call for group visits.

The Gazela Primeiro, a Portuguese barkentine that sailed in the White Fleet fishing cod, will visit New Bedford from Thursday, July 29, 2010, through Aug. 2. This should generate considerable traffic by Ernestina. Please, help tell the story of Ernestina, what she can do, and what she needs to be sailing again. Let's not miss this opportunity.

Thanks.
