"The revenue we generated from Tall Ships Erie goes to things like this,'' Sabatini said. "The same thing happened in 2013. We had a really great Tall Ships Erie festival and right away we spent over $100,000 on going to the shipyard. It's great that we have Tall Ships Erie as a fundraiser for us because we spend it. It doesn't sit in the bank.''
The Flagship Niagara League organized and hosted the Tall Ships Erie festival Sept. 8-11 along the downtown Erie bayfront. The event featured appearances by nine tall ships, including the Spanish vessel El Galeon, and The World's Largest Rubber Duck, an inflatable yellow duck that towers more than six stories.
The four-day Erie festival attracted about 90,000 festivalgoers and raised $320,000 for the Flagship Niagara League, according to Flagship Niagara League Executive Director Shawn Waskiewicz.

Ensign Sandra: We probably won't see much color on the way to Salem, and if we take the ferry, none at all. Airport shuttle is a convenience, but I wouldn't let it be the deciding factor. It's easy-peasy to get the T in from Logan.

Ensign Sandra: Whoops! That was supposed to go in the Boston thread. Sorry!

HMSCody: Shipmates, I was just idly wondering if a remote group viewing of "The Fire Ships" would be useful right about now...
