Tall Ship SSV Robert C. Seamans in Tahsis!

Tall Ship SSV Robert C. Seamans is currently docked at Westview Marina!



The ship's mission is to provide students with the opportunity to live, work and study at sea. Half the students and crew have leave to walk around Tahsis, and half will have their land break tomorrow.

The Tahsis Art Society is giving an "Edge of the West" CoffeeHouse for them on Tuesday July 28th at the Sacred Grounds Coffee House from 5 to 9 PM. Read previous posts for more information and background.

More information about the ship and the Sea Education Association can be found on their website at: www.sea.edu .



So far 2 relatives of students on the ship have e-mailed requests to pass on messages. I will print out any e-mails for students or crew on the ship and take to the CoffeeHouse on Tuesday, and either give to them or pass on to the Captain to give to them back at the ship. If anyone else just wants to send them well wishes for their voyage, please feel free to e-mail as well!

Contact e-mail to send those messages is tallship@tahsisbc.com

I have also heard that during their Open House tomorrow (they are open for tours of the ship from 5 to 7 on Tuesday July 28th) that several representatives from the Village Municipal Office will come down to the ship to greet them and give out 'Village of Tahsis' pins to the students and crew.
