Join Maine Seacoast Mission for an open house on its 74-foot, flagship vessel Sunbeam during the Wilson Museum’s “Hands-On History Open House” on Sunday, June 29. From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., visitors can tour the boat and learn more about the Mission’s work in coastal Washington County and on outer, unbridged islands. The Sunbeam will be at the Castine Town Dock, just a 15-minute walk from the museum.
With the assistance of the Sunbeam, the Mission provides health services, education programming, and community building initiatives to year-round populations on Maine’s remote islands. In addition, a full-time nurse offers flu and Covid vaccination clinics, leads a network of eldercare facilities, conducts healthcare check-ups, and connects residents to mainland specialists. Islands served include Chebeague, Cliff Island, Frenchboro, Great Cranberry, Great Diamond, Isle au Haut, Islesboro, Islesford, Long Island, Matinicus, Monhegan, North Haven, Vinalhaven, Peaks, and Swan’s Island.
Sunbeam Open Houses are open to the public. For inquiries, please contact events@seacoastmission.org or call (207) 801-6008.
