290 Commemorative Cruise: To commemorate the sesquicentennial of the CSS Alabama‘s loss

Via Nancy

 


Commemorative Cruise
18-19th June 2014

To commemorate the sesquicentennial of the CSS Alabama‘s loss, the 290 Foundation has entered into a provisional agreement to charter a period vessel for this unique voyage. The Brigantine, ‘Tenacious’ will depart Portsmouth to Cherbourg with lunch served. Our trip, under full sail, will include an evening with (optional) dinner and overnight accommodation on board in France.

Following our early morning departure there will be a wreath laying ceremony over the wreck of the CSS Alabama before the return voyage with lunch served as before. We intend arriving back at Southampton in late afternoon.

 Space will be at a premium and we envisage accommodation for only twenty paying guests. We are advised that bookings and deposits will be due twelve months in advance (June 2013).

Please read the enclosed leaflet carefully. If you require any special facilities or dietary needs, please confirm these at time of booking.

For all other information, email
