Description
"Friendship of Salem" is entering the final stage of a major repair project that began in the winter of 2022. The remaining repairs will be completed at Gloucester Marine Railway, a shipyard in Gloucester, MA over the next eight months. The ship is expected to depart Salem around high tide on November 13 at approximately 7:30 am.
In anticipation of the ship’s temporary move, join us for an open house at "Friendship of Salem" (Derby Wharf) on Wednesday, November 6 from 6 pm to 8 pm to view the ongoing repair work before the ship departs for Gloucester. The restored Custom House (178 Derby Street) will also be open to the community during this time. We hope to see you there!
