FAME Sails from Marblehead!
The Hannah, the first ship in Washington’s fleet was launched in September 1775. To commemorate that important part of Marblehead’s history, the Fame – very similar in size and appearance to the Hannah – will be docked at Marblehead’s State Street Landing, 75 Front Street, from 9:00am to 10:15am on Saturday, September 20th, and Sunday, September 21st. Visitors may board the ship for free and experience an 18th century schooner. Crew and members of Glover’s Regiment will be on hand to tell the story of Hannah and answer questions.
On BOTH mornings we will offer a 90-minute sail from 10:15am-11:45am. All tickets are $50, with proceeds to benefit the Marblehead 250 events for 2025 and 2026. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets
Please Note: This is a SAIL, so the route is subject to wind and weather. We sail as far and as fast as we can based on conditions, and our goal is always to shut off the engine and give our guests an authentic schooner experience, but every trip is different.
Guests have the opportunity to raise sails, take the tiller, learn knots, and engage with our knowledgeable crew about Hannah’s and Fame’s interesting histories, and learn about the many islands, lighthouses, forts, and other sights of Salem Sound. If you’re interested in history, ask questions!
