📰 News we're reading
• In Search of Next Chapter, the Shenandoah Will Sail to Mystic (vineyardgazette.com) — Vineyard Haven residents will see the beloved schooner Shenandoah towed out of the harbor Saturday as it heads to Mystic, Connecticut, for stabilization and a possible ownership transfer. Local advocates, including the Douglas family and Island boatbuilders, hope the winter stay will buy time to decide whether the 63‑year‑old vessel can be preserved as a sailing ship, museum piece, or other public attraction.
