Shanties and Sails

Shanties and Sails was a festival held at the Connecticut River Museum on June 27, 2023.  It featured the Johnson Girls, who performed on the museum grounds from 5:30 – 6:30 PM, and then on the Onrust from 7:00 – 8:00 pm.  Onrust is a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614. She is available for public cruises as well as private charters. Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration, the fur trade, and our early colonial history.
