More from our day at the Fisheries Museum

One of the School Ships leaving dock.
The kids helped launch a new fishing ship. First it and the crew were blessed by the local priest.
Then the crew goes through an elaboarte system of knocking out various blocks and pins. The smallest crew member has to actually LIE UNDER THE BOAT while it grinds down the greased runners into the water. Wild Thing was very happy the little girl with the tiara was shorter than him.
The ship is launched! My crew was paid in museum buttons and ballots for a draw for 25 lobsters!
