Torsk will hold its annual tolling of the boats on Saturday, May 28.  We do about 20 boats every hour starting around 1pm.  We spread it out so more visitors are able to participate.

Chief,

Make sure that my grandfathers flag is flying for that, I know he is looking down on my family right now smiling as to how far we have come and smiling on the crew that has taken charge of his flag..

The plan is to raise your Grandfather's flag at 0800 and leave it up util we depart around 1600.  We'd leave it up longer if we thought we could trust the docents to handle it with the respect and care it deserves.
