On Saturday,
September 26th, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay will host a free
“Treasures of Spectacle Island” cruise to spend a beautiful fall day in the
Boston Harbor Islands National Park! Come enjoy the view from the highest hill
on the Boston Harbor Islands, and hunt for sea glass on Treasure Beach.
Thanks to our partners at Mass Humanities, this year we are
excited to announce that storyteller Norah Dooley will join us as Mary Read the
Pirate, to share stories of shipwrecks, ghosts and pirates of Boston Harbor and to encourage you to share your stories as well.
We will begin
boarding the Provincetown II at Bay State Cruise Company’s dock at the World
Trade Center in South Boston at 9:30 AM for a 10:00 AM departure. We will
return by 2:30 PM.
The snack bar on Spectacle
Island will be open as well as the snack bar aboard the Provincetown II. You
are also welcome to bring a picnic lunch—please remember that the Boston Harbor
Islands have a “carry-on, carry-off” policy, so bring a bag for your trash!
Keep an eye out for
marbles while exploring the beach—you could win a pair of JetBlue flights to
any domestic destination they serve from Boston’s Logan Airport as part of the
2015 “Simply Marble-ous” Treasure Hunt! Take a picture of yourself with a
marble and email it to info@savetheharbor.org
with your name, neighborhood, and contact information to enter the contest! A
winner will be chosen on October 31st.
The Bay State Cruise
Company dock is easily accessed via the MBTA’s Silver Line. Parking is
available in various lots and garages in the area. For MBTA and driving
directions, visit http://baystatecruisecompany.com/directions.php
Reservations are
required. Though there is plenty of room on the boat, space is still limited,
so please RSVP to Amy Gaylord via email or phone to reserve your space: Gaylord@savetheharbor.org or
617-451-2860 x1008! Please give us an accurate headcount so that we can
accommodate as many guests as possible.
