Renaissance Party at Eastport Yacht Club
to Benefit Annapolis Maritime Museum

The Annapolis Maritime Museum will hold a "Renaissance Party" at the Eastport Yacht Club on Friday, October 3, from 7 to 10 p.m.

"Hurricane Isabel dealt the McNasby's building a serious blow, but the Museum is very much alive," says Museum Chairman Buck Buchanan, "and we need help. It takes the whole community to preserve and celebrate our maritime heritage, so we’re inviting the whole community to come join us as we celebrate our rebirth and the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race."

The event had originally been scheduled at the Museum’s McNasby Oyster Company building to celebrate the opening of the new exhibit on Chesapeake Bay Schooners. Since the building suffered extensive damage during the recent storm, the Eastport Yacht Club generously offered to host the party in a tent behind their clubhouse, and the party will become a fund raiser for the Museum’s rebuilding campaign.

The program will feature music by Them Eastport Oyster Boys, a live auction, liquid refreshments and hors d'oeuvres, and videos of the schooner race. Special guests include the captains and crews competing in the upcoming Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race.

Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the door.

From Annapolis City Dock, cross the Spa Creek Bridge to Eastport, turn left at the first light onto Severn Avenue, turn left onto First Street, and stop before driving into Spa Creek. Eastport Yacht Club is on the right. There will NO PARKING on the EYC grounds.
