250th Anniversary Celebration
Navesink Maritime Heritage Association to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution
Navesink Maritime Heritage Association plans to actively celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, with the biggest events scheduled around the anniversary date of the Declaration of Independence.
It is our intention to be the clearing house for Eastern Monmouth County maritime history during the 250th anniversary celebration. NMHA’s program will focus on three aspects:
- Maritime and the county, the state and the country
- The arc of the country’s history beyond the Revolution, with a deep focus on inclusion of all stakeholders who created the United States, prior to and after 1776.
- The promise of the future of the United States with a particular focus on sustainability
Our program will depend on the funding that can be secured and, as such, NMHA is investigating these projects:
- To create documentation and online resources about maritime history during and since the Revolution, plus present and future usage of our maritime resource
- History tours via boat, including bringing a historic vessel to the area for touring and sailing
- Participation in Operation Sail 250: www.sail4th.org/vision
- Organize a Revolutionary Row, a water-based, family-friendly event akin to the popular Revolutionary Runs
- To organize a classic and historic vessel rendezvous at a suitable Eastern Monmouth County location
NMHA is soliciting partners and financial supporters for these projects.
