Schooner crew serenades Locks’ visitors

Posted by Geeky Swedes on May 12th, 2010

The crew of the Adventuress serenaded visitors with sea chanteys at the Ballard Locks this morning on its way to the Center for Wooden Boats.

The 97-year-old tall ship is one of 25 finalists hoping to win a $125,000 Partners in Preservation grant. Crewmembers on the Adventuress made a plea to spectators to vote for the 133-foot boat. Today is the last day for voting.

The Adventuress is owned and operated by the non-profit group Sound Experience. If you’d like a dockside tour, the schooner will be open for tours today from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Center for Wooden Boats (1010 Valley St). (Disclosure: Partners in Preservation is a sponsor of MyBallard.)
