St. Mary's Grammar School Children Cruise the Delaware River

Children from Saint Mary Grammar School Fourth Grade Class took a cruise on Gloucester City’s schooner The NorthWind on June 16th. Twenty six  children and their teacher, along with two adult chaparones enjoyed the field trip on the Delaware River.

  The children learned a little about ecology, history and sailing. Some of the sites they saw included Fort Nassau, the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Red Bank Battlefield and Fort Mifflin.

   After docking back at the schooner’s slip at Freedom Pier, King Street and the Delaware River, they were all treated to water ice.

  Interested groups wanting to reserve the "NorthWind" for a similar trip or other adventure can contact Captain Chuck Reed at gloucestersail@verizon.net.
