2009 - Restoration of the Peggy of New Point begins


10 years ago the Mathews Maritime Foundation launched into an extensive overhaul of the Mathews-built 1925 vessel, Peggy of New Point, shown here at Horn Harbor. Photos of the process and more can be found on her blog at http://peggyofnewpoint.blogspot.com
2009 also marked the formation of the Heritage Trail. This partnership project highlights the coastal landscape and nautical heritage, starting with the East River. The Heritage Trail is a companion guide to the Mathews Blueways Trail. Guide info is at https://www.vims.edu/ccrm/publications/heritage_trail/index.php
