Schooner Sultana at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels

The schooner Sultana will be dockside at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md. beginning Saturday, May 14, 2016 and continuing through Wednesday, May 25, 2016.

The Sultana will be open for boarding to all museum guests from 2:00 -5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, 2016 and again on Sunday, May 22, 2016 from 12 noon to 2:00 p.m. The dockside tours are free for museum members or with general admission.

While at CBMM, Sultana will be hosting under-sail Environmental Science programs for Talbot County Public School’s 5th grade students. These same students will also participate in land-based programs with CBMM staff and volunteers.

The schooner Sultana serves as an on-the-water classroom for learning about the history and environment of the Chesapeake Bay. An almost exact replica of a British schooner that patrolled the North American coast just prior to the American Revolution, Sultana provides day-long programs as well as live-aboard programs for participants.

During Sultana’s visit, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s waterfront campus and 12 exhibit buildings are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, visit www.cbmm.org or call 410-745-2916.
