A historic schooner that ran aground near Orcas Island sustained only a ding on its keel and will be able to head to this weekend’s tall ships festival in Victoria, B.C., and next week’s Tall Ships Tacoma festival.
The 133-foot Adventuress was refloated Monday after being stuck for several hours in the San Juan Islands and having stranded passengers and crew members evacuated by two state ferries.
Catherine Collins, executive director of Sound Experience, the nonprofit educational operation that owns and manages the Adventuress, said Wednesday that the ship motored back to its home base of Port Townsend and was hauled out of the water for a Coast Guard inspection. She said the Adventuress was back in the water in time to head to Victoria.
