We had a delightful visit recently from Barbara Bartram, widow of our benefactor Joe Bartram. We were thrilled to show her all the progress we’ve made firsthand; she’s already an avid reader of our blog, but seeing RELIANCE in person, in our opinion, was a much better experience.

Several days later, the Museum held its Herreshoff classic yacht race series; the harbor was filled with beautiful boats. Many sailors got the chance to tour the museum and see our boat. Great fun for all!
