The
Rockport Navy Committee (RocNavCom) and the Town of Rockport will again
be hosting The United States Naval Academy (USNA) Offshore Sail
Training Squadron (OSTS). Five NA-44 foot sailboats will arrive in
Rockport on Friday July 13th, 2012 and cast off Monday morning July
16th, 2012.
A
replica of an 1812 USS Constitution gun deck complete with a 5,800
pound late 18th century long gun will come to Rockport on Sunday. A
master gun team, in 1813 period uniforms, will be giving hourly
demonstrations in the upper parking lot on Bearskin Neck from 11 a.m. to
5 p.m.
Sailors
from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, the USS
Constitution in Boston, Massachusetts and the Navy Band in Newport,
Rhode Island have been invited to participate in the weekend events.
Midshipmen Hosting
The
RocNavCom is looking for Rockport families to host the forty
midshipmen and ten advisors during their visit. The midshipmen range in
age from 18 to 22. The families will be responsible for room and board
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, transportation to morning events and
returning the midshipmen to T-wharf Monday morning. Many of the
activities the midshipmen will be participating in will include meals.
We are holding to the Navy standard of the buddy system; families must
be able to accommodate at least two midshipmen or advisors. If you are
interested in hosting midshipmen, please fill out the form below or go
to: http://www.rocnavcom.org/Host-Families.html
Kickball
The
US Navy and USNA will play kickball with Rockport children 6-16 years
old on Saturday. The children and sailors/midshipmen will be mixed
together on the teams, no rivalries. Children must be able to be
photographed. The game will be held at Evans Field at 10:15 a.m. Lunch
will be provided for the players after the game at 12:15 p.m.
If you would like your child(ren) to play, please fill out the form below or go to: http://www.rocnavcom.org/Sports.html
Raffle
The
success of the Navy visits is dependent on the enthusiastic support and
generous financial donations of the residents and businesses of
Rockport. To help defer the costs of the Navy Weekend the RocNavCom will
be holding a 50/50 raffle. Tickets are available from committee
members. The drawing will be held during the USN/USNA vs. Rockport
Police/Fire softball game at Evans Field on Saturday night July 14th. The game starts at 6:30 pm. Public is welcome.
