Virginia V: Restoring a 100 Year Old Ship to Glory

Long time Heritage Museum champion Greg Beardsley will share the history of the Steamship Virginia V. From her launch in Maplewood in 1921, to her service as a part of the Mosquito Fleet, to her years bringing Camp Fire campers to Camp Sealth; the Virginia V has been a Vashon icon. Greg will share tales of the years of fundraising and restoration work in the 1990s and 2000s to bring her back to life. In 2021, the Virginia V will celebrate 100 years of service. Join us and learn more about this beautiful historic steamship.
