This event will Close the river and Lock Up the draw bridge open ..(US RT-1) for over an hour.....All Auto traffic on US Rt-1 stopped.
I think I will try to attend. I think I need to arrive at the park at around 7:30 AM to get a spot. I'll have to depart home at 6:00 AM. I'll have to get up at 5:00 AM.
OR... Maybe I'll just Sleep In and watch it on MSNBC later. 
This IS an Historic Event. The last time the Morgan went under that bridge was 1941, the year I was born.  |
What a great event to witness. Hope you're able to see in person. I've been aboard the Morgan several times during my life; always a neat experience. Never thought it would be restored to the point of taking to sea again. She'll be in Boston from 7/18 - 7/22 berthed next to the Constitution. I'll be sure to visit, go aboard and take many photos; who knows when it will happen again?
