The harbor and wharfs of Chestertown will be
filled to capacity on the weekend of November 2-4, 2007 as ships from
across the mid-Atlantic make their way up the Chester River to
participate in the schooner Sultana's seventh annual Downrigging
Weekend. Established in 2001, Downrigging Weekend marks the close of
Sultana Projects' sailing season and the beginning of "downrigging" for
many of the region's tall ships and traditional sailing vessels. The
weekend will afford the public opportunities to view, board and sail on
the assembled fleet and to join in celebrating the maritime heritage of
the region. A fleet of "tall ships" and historic vessels are scheduled
to participate in Downrigging Weekend 2007, including the Kalmar Nyckel,
Pride of Baltimore, II and the schooner Virginia
