Night at the Museum: ShipwreckedTonight, Thursday, August 24th from 7 – 9 pm the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston will be hosting Night at the Museum: Shipwrecked! Join us for a night of live music, interactive activities and refreshments.

 

It was a calm, clear night when the SS Comet set sail across the Great Lakes. Like many nights such as these, it was smooth sailing as far as the eye could see. Who would have guessed that in just a matter of hours, the ship would sink below the waves of Lake Ontario, taking all but a few of her passengers with her. Will you go down with the ship or succeed in reaching a lifeboat?

Throughout the evening, you are encouraged to interact with Museum staff to solve the mystery, discover actual shipwreck artifacts and take part in interactive games and activities. At the end of the night, all will be revealed… Who snagged a spot in a lifeboat, and who remained aboard our sinking ship? Prizes are up for grabs for those who solved the mystery!

This is an 18+ event. Tickets are $20 and include admission and a drink ticket; additional non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.

The Museum is excited to partner with Something in the Water Brewing to offer an evening of music, socializing, and food & drink services.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
