Additional cruise location makes waves for tourists and locals!

Last weekend, Captain Rick Flamand and our crew of Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park [AMM] sailed the historic skipjack, WILMA LEE to her semi-permanent location at Burtis Dock, on the north side of Susan Campbell Park. This will allow Annapolis visitors and locals the opportunity to take a deck tour or a cruise on the Chesapeake Bay by way of City Dock.
