Current voyage schedule (Watch for updates, further details, and
possible changes.)
The Sae Hrafn was
hauled out for the winter on Dec. 7. 2009, and put back in the water for the 2010 season on May
27.
Just as we were getting this season underway, we found out that we need
to relocate the ship to a new home port/dock. This makes
the schedule uncertain, so all previously listed voyages/dates are tentative.
If you have any leads on potential donated or low cost dock space/slip please
get in contact with the LSCo board.
August 14 - Saturday
August 28 - Saturday
Work Sessions
Maintaining the ship is critical to the Longship
Company, and participating in the work provides as
much or more historical experience and insight as sailing and rowing on her.
August 14 - Saturday 10:00am (possible follow-up work on Sunday) - Special work session in conjunction with moving the ship to the Calvert Marine Museum. We neeed to clear all the gear out of the dock box and move it with the ship or store it at the Oakley barn. It is unlikely that the dock box itself can be moved intact (unless someone has a flatbed truck and we have about 10 able bodied people on hand), and it may not even be practical to salvage the pieces. So, we need to be prepared to cut apart the aluminum and expanded polystyrene panels into managable-size pieces.

INTERESTED IN COMING ALONG ON A VOYAGE IN 2010?
Our typical voyage is a casual afternoon trip of a few hours, devoted to
developing ship handling skills, conducting archeology by experimentation,
scouting locations for future filming or other activities, and/or just enjoying
the the water, sun, surroundings, wildlife, etc.
while getting some good exercise. Depending on weather and other conditions we
may go out on the Patuxent and Chesapeake, or explore
some of the nearer and more sheltered estuaries in the area. If you would like
to take part in a voyage, we welcome you to come along as a guest, space and
circumstances permitting. Contact us to make arrangements and get the required
information. There is no charge -- however,
donations are most welcome, and those guests physically able to do so are
expected to help in rowing and the general operation of the ship as needed.
