Hoah! Our crew took a trip to Bath, NC last weekend to show and tell about the Virginia Navy! Our state navy operated in areas of North Carolina during the American Revolution to help fend off the British! We even fired our swivel gun, "Hog and Hominy" into the harbor! A great day with great shipmates and Crawford the great pyranees in a great town! Plus lots of cool historic sites and old country stores! God bless Virginia! Huzza!

Hoah! Our salty crew traveled to Riddicks Folly Museum in Suffolk for the 250th anniversary of the launching of our vessel in Spring 1776. Our task was to pay homage to the men who served in the Virginia Navy. We are so grateful for the opportunity to honor and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our great commonwealth. The crew of the Norfolk Revenge included men who were free and slave, black and white. We shared our collection of weapons, tools, ephemera, uniforms, and flags with over 100 visitors during the day! We even christened our new swivel gun, Hog and Hommany! Plus our poultry joined us for the festivities! Thank you to the museum for having us! Thank you to all who participated! Huzza!
