2013 - Peggy Re-Christening




On a rainy Sat. in Oct., 2013, the 88 year old Peggy of New Point was christened into her new role as a seagoing representative of the maritime heritage of Mathews Co. This new role has her on display at various waterfront festivals throughout the Tidewater, appearing as she did during her days fishing pound nets, the purpose she was built for. Christening festivities and a silent auction were held at Kingston Plantation in North, with a second get-together the following day at Lynne’s Family Restaurant.
