You are cordially invited to join us for this amazing celebration!
We’ll be holding the ceremony on pontoon 5, Albert Quay, in the presence of His Excellency, Jerry Kyd: Lieutenant-Governor.
The boat naming ceremony is a nautical tradition that’s thousands of years old. In fact, virtually every seagoing culture has adopted its own version of a boat naming ceremony. Not surprisingly, the ancient Greeks and Romans had elaborate boat-christening rituals that turned into extended parties. These festive events included plenty of toasts, speeches, and prayers to the gods.
We hope to see you at our own little gathering!
