Argosy’s lead Christmas Ship will be making the rounds in Ballard tonight (Tuesday) with the Vivace! Cathedrals Choir. It departs Shilshole Marina at 7 p.m., entertains the Ballard Locks from 8-8:20 p.m., cruises Golden Gardens from 9:05-9:25 p.m. and returns to the marina at 9:30 p.m.

If you’re not familiar with the Christmas Ship tradition — now in its 59th year — you can sit down and enjoy the music from shore as its broadcast over Argosy’s speaker system. By the way, the forecast tonight is for scattered showers and lows in the mid-40s. (Photo from earlier this month by Susan Ware.)
