Schooner Sultana at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md in May, June

The schooner Sultana will be at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md. beginning mid-day on Friday, May 12, 2017 and continuing through Thursday, May 25, 2017. Sultana will visit CBMM again Friday, June 23, through Monday, June 26.

While at CBMM, Sultana will be hosting students in an under-sail environmental science program out on the Miles River during the weekdays, and can be seen dockside over the weekend.

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 exhibition buildings are open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with drop-in cruises available on the 1920 buyboat Winnie Estelle Fridays through Mondays beginning Memorial Day weekend through October.
