JUNE 2025
This month we look forward to our annual auction/barbecue on Saturday, June 14. Watch your email for details of the time and location!
To the left is a photo of the USS Newark (C-1), commissioned in 1891, and the last full-rigged ship to enter service in the U.S. Navy (although she was primarily steam powered). See member Joel L.'s articles about his scratch-build of this historic vessel in the Summer 2025 issue (and future issues) of the Lynx, the WSMS newsletter.
The work of WSMS members covers the ages of sail and steam--and in this case, that brief period of time when both were relied upon.
