HOLLAND, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Michigan Maritime Museum is set to return to Holland for the 2023 Tulip Time Festival with tall ship Friends Good Will.
Museum officials say the replica nineteenth-century vessel will be located at the docks behind Boatwerks Restaurant May 6 through May 13.
Friends Good Will is a replica of a square topsail sloop built in 1811 for a Detroit merchant, which was captured by both British and American forces during the War of 1812.
“We’re so proud to be part of the West Michigan lakeshore,” said Patti Montgomery-Reinert, executive director of the Michigan Maritime Museum. “And Tulip Time is a celebration of our region and all that makes it special. It’s the perfect way to start our season!”
Tours will be available from 10 am to 4 pm, Saturday, May 6 through Saturday, May 13.
Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online at tickets.michiganmaritimemuseum.org.
