Come aboard for the opening of "The Wawona and the End of the Age of Sail" on July 30th, 7-9 PM, at the Maritime Heritage Center, (703 R Ave, next to the W. T. Preston Snagboat).

Drawing on the memories of the men who sailed her, historical photos, and artifacts from the ship herself, the exhibit showcases the schooner Wawona, acquired in the early 1900s by Robinson Fisheries of Anacortes to fish the Bering Sea cod banks.

This special evening will feature music by the Whateverly Brothers, Cannery Row, and Guemes folksinger Tim Wittman, who has written a song about the Wawona especially for this event.

Free; no reservations necessary.  For more information, call the Anacortes Museum at 293-1915.
