As millions of Americans prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving Day, from today (22 November) the Classic Boat Gallery in East Cowes will be having a celebration of its own.
It’s marking the 375th anniversary of the day on which a group of pioneers set sail from West Cowes, across the Atlantic Ocean to found Maryland, in the USA. The Ark and The Dove – the ships that sailed to the New World – and the people on board will be featured. You can see the exhibition at the Venture Quays Building in Columbine Road, East Cowes.
