June 3–4 | 10:00 am–5:00 pm
Visiting fishing and oyster vessels are docking at the Seaport once again to educate about the industry’s current sustainable practices. Enjoy local oysters and check out a variety of special historical demonstrations like sail handling aboard historic vessels, cod fishing, and cooking oysters on an open hearth. Explore the undersea world in our latest exhibition, Alexis Rockman: Oceanus, and learn about the last trap family in Fish & Forrest. Kick back with a tasty beverage on the waterfront while listening to music on the new performance stage. Want to spend some time out on the water? Enjoy a captained boat ride or take out a sailboat or rowboat! And be on the lookout for giveaways to commemorate the Henry du Pont Preservation Shipyard!
