Sultana Sail
On August 31, the Starr Center hosted a group of dauntless mariners
– a.k.a., Washington College first-year students - for a sail through
history aboard the 1768 Schooner Sultana, pride of the Chester River. Upon their return, the crew of students, faculty, and staff was treated to a traditional Eastern Shore feast of blue crabs on the Custom House lawn.
