Pirate ship sailing into downtown
—Courtesy photo “Captain” Dan Mimmack dressed in his Capt. Jack Sparrow outfit, and the rest of the “Wind Spirit” crew will be parked outside the Cedar Street Bridge Saturday. Area youngsters of all ages are invited to come sail away into a land of adventure.
Ahoy, mateys, come climb aboard the “Wind Spirit” and sail away into a land of adventure.
Children of all ages are invited Saturday to visit the scaled-down replica of a 17th century three-masted frigate. Captained by “Jack Sparrow” himself, the ship has brought joy to all little pirates through the years wherever it docks.
Look for the scallywags manning the ship on the plaza in front of the Cedar Street bridge from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each child is escorted aboard the ship and issued a pirate hat and a foam sword to play with while on the boat. The ship’s cannon, bell and steering wheel are all available to entertain the youngsters. When they’re done playing, they turn in the hats and swords and are rewarded by plundering the ship’s treasure chest to take home a keepsake from their visit aboard.
