View the panorama that is the Bainbridge Island waterfront as you cruise around it on the beautifully restored S/S Virginia V, the last of the “Mosquito Fleet” ships. Watch the 1898 steam engine operate and pull the steam whistle in the pilot house. Enjoy a delicious box of snacks from the deck of this historic vessel.

Dennis Lewarch, Suquamish Tribal Preservation Officer, will share his knowledge of the historical relationship of the Suquamish Tribe and Bainbridge Island. This is a rare chance to learn about Suquamish shellfish gathering, fishing sites, spring and summer camps, and villages, as you cruise the Island’s shores.

This annual fundraiser is a festive, informative, and historical event featuring a program and narration, pointing out numerous docks and communities that grew up along the Island’s shore.
