Captain Jim-sib Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 As announced in the last issue of No Quarter Given, There is a drive to build Blackbeard's Sloop Adventure in Bath, NC. Yes, this will be a large undertaking, and many folks are excited about this project. The venture has been named: "Return the Adventure to Bath." Since the vessel was registered in the Vice-Admiralty Court in Bath in the Summer of 1718, the folks in Bath have a particular kinship with her. This project is not being sponsored by the state, though various state professionals have given their verbal support. A fundraiser raffle is being held with the prize being a cased model of the Adventure. The model is currently displayed at the Bath library, and will be there during the Tri-Centennial Events this year. A similar model will be in the new Teach's Hole Museum on Ocracoke Island in mid-July. This model can also be viewed at the link: http://www.carolinasib.com/images/Frame.ph...TURE&price=CALL The cost of a raffle ticket is $5.00. Raffle tickets can be obtained by sending a SASE to: Mrs. Pat Mansfield Return the Adventure to Bath Blackbeard View IX (9) Bath, NC 27808 (checks made out to Pat Mansfield) The model scale is 1" = 5'. The case dimensions are: L=25", H=18.5", & W=13". The drawing for this prize will be during the closing Tri-Centennial Ceremony on March 8, 2006. Shipping of the prize within the continental U.S. to the winner will be provided by yours truly. Thank you for your support in this project. --Jim--
