Maritime Lectures in Salem

In partnership with the National Park Service, Fame hosts a free monthly maritime lecture series in Salem. There is no lecture in January. Join us on February 4 as volunteers from Friendship return with tales and photos from their adventures aboard the USCG Barque Eagle. The steel-hulled Eagle is the Coast Guard Academy's training ship, and is the only square rigger in active service. She is capable of making 17 knots under sail!

These monthly lectures take place at 7 PM at St. Joseph Hall, 160 Derby St., Salem. They are free, and the Hall is handicapped accessible. For more information, call 978-729-7600 or 978-740-1660.

See you in the Spring!

Fame concluded its schedule of public sails on November 2. We'll resume sailing on Memorial Day weekend, 2009.

Ticket prices are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for children under 13. Our ticket booth on Pickering Wharf opens daily at 1 PM. Note that sails may be cancelled if the weather is inclement.
