Maine Seacoast Mission’s 74-foot flagship vessel Sunbeam will host an open house at the Northeast Harbor Marina on Thursday, September 4 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. During the open house, visitors can see the inner workings of a boat which welcomes more than 1,000 people aboard each year to participate in Mission programming.
Mission President John Zavodny says, “The Sunbeam is recognizable to many. While she is a familiar sight to Maine islanders, we’re excited for the public to come aboard right in her home port of Northeast Harbor. It will be particularly special for the crew to share the work they do and provide tours of the ship.”
With the assistance of the Sunbeam, the Mission provides health services, education programming, and community building initiatives to year-round populations on Maine’s remote islands. In addition, a full-time nurse offers flu and Covid vaccination clinics, leads a network of eldercare facilities, conducts healthcare check-ups, and connects residents to mainland specialists. Islands served include Chebeague, Cliff Island, Frenchboro, Great Cranberry, Great Diamond, Isle au Haut, Islesboro, Islesford, Long Island, Matinicus, Monhegan, North Haven, Vinalhaven, Peaks, and Swan’s Island.
